Okay, not sure if anyone mentioned it but..
Does she have a “birth plan”? She should have it written out, what she is willing to consent to and not willing to consent to, so her husband can give consent.
Also, I wrote mine down, but my husband knew exactly all my wishes which pretty much included
1.) No intervention to speed delivery. No pitocin, no vacuum, no forceps.
2.) No talk of c-section
I didn’t get the second. My OB harassed me to use a vacuum and a c-section for hours. I never gave up, and thankfully when the doctor tried to approach my husband (men can be convinced easily) he stood his ground for me.
Let her do her thing. Tell her to walk around, she doesn’t need to be on monitors 24/7. Walking uses gravity to get the baby out.
Listen to her. If she wants a back run, do it. If she wants a drink, don’t deny it because that’s what hospital staff says. They just don’t want to get peed on! My husband gave me ginger ale while I was in labor.
Good luck!
