[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I live out of state now and it happened between 2 am-3:30 am in the morning. The snow wasn’t a factor. Also the doctor said a few times we don’t know what’s going on yet and would leave the room. She probably was going back and forth but[b] they could have checked my cervix and monitored the contractions. [/b]She came one or twice to speak briefly from the doorway. I told them the contractions were coming really fast and they had me hooked up to monitor them, but doctor or nurse wasn’t looking at the screen. My husband who was also with our other child was telling them I have a history of fasts births. I was trying my best to advocate for myself. Unfortunately, my doula and babysitter didn’t pick up the phone so we had to go to the hospital with our child and I gave birth without any support.

Were you not hooked up to the machine for NST/monitoring?  They can review the output from that remotely, IIRC.[/quote]

It’s irrelevant because she gave birth so quick. Obviously she WAS having regular contractions since she gave birth so quickly. Contractions aren’t the only thing the doctor has to look at. Op said the baby was born 10 mins after the doctor checked her cervix. Going from a 4 to pushing within an hour seems unlikely. She was further along then the triage nurse put her.

I’m the pp who wrote above about my experience at Sibley. When they checked me they said I was 4 cm and that they’d check on me “later”. It was about an hour later that my husband was begging for help and they said my contractions on the monitor looked fine and the baby’s heart rate (also on the monitor) looked good. They couldn’t tell from their desks that I was hemorrhaging or that the baby was crowning.  [/quote]
