Another beautiful birth this past Friday! This dear woman birthed a ten pound two ounce baby! She hired me three weeks ago — she was told she had too much amniotic fluid and the cord would prolapse. The ultrasound said she was carrying a ten pound baby and they wanted to section her.
The woman who hired me a month ago on a Friday night and who birthed the very next day, was told she did not have ENOUGH fluid and the baby would strangle on the umbilical cord — she’d had two sections and birthed quickly and easily.
I also attended a woman in Connecticut last week, who had a beautiful 8 pound 12 ounce baby – a “lightweight”!
No one has faith anymore that women can birth – they don’t even bother to palpate ( FEEL) the woman to assess the fluid levels – they have no idea what feels right and what doesn’t any more – and they wanted to induce all of these women for a variety of reasons, which would have resulted in three more cesareans for sure.
