I attended my 3rd birth this morning. My client called at 4am and said she was heading to the hospital after 2 days of sporadic contractions. It was time! She did a fabulous job laboring the entire time without any pain meds whatsoever but unfortunately ended up with a C-section due to baby in distress. There was a lot of meconium present when he was delivered via C-section so everyone was grateful that he was born with only a few minor issues. He was transferred immediately to the NICU where he is now being watched closely to make sure his lungs are strong. The doctors are confident that he will be just fine. When I left them, Mom and Dad were tired but ecstatic about their baby boy.
