http://www.essentialbaby.com.au/birth/birt...0222-2ev8n.html I can't believe this the poor women. If this isn't proof that something needs to be done in our hospitals what is?I just have no words!! Can't believe that this can happen. This post has been edited by EBmel: 22/02/2013, 09:19 AM Reason for edit: Changed to EB link

I just read it on ninemsn! I can't believe this dude though "Acting director of nursing and midwifery David Simmonds said before the birth itself there was no indication Kristy was in established labour." http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/2013/0...rs-her-own-baby Contractions, dilation, extreme pain - seriously not an indication of established labour. I bet she just popped one out to be nuisance. What a moron.

I think it is very sad but my first birth was like that. I was lying quietly on the bed when I sad to the midwife I think I need to push. She said are you sure and I said I think so. She got up to have a feel and saw the head. It was panic stations from then so I can understand how it could happen, especially being her first

5- 10 minutes for a nurse to come and assist? Did I read that right- she was sitting there with her baby for between five and ten minutes before a nurse came to assist her! Far out, that is awful.

Sounds terrifying. I'm glad that it all turned out ok and the baby's fine. As they said in the article, very lucky indeed that there weren't tragic consequences.
