119: Rapid Arrival: An Unmedicated Hospital Birth After Switch to Midwife
Manage episode 440040115 series 2801904
Upper West Sider Diana wanted an unmedicated birth and prepared by hiring doulas and switching from a large OB practice to a hospital midwife in an OB practice that she felt much more comfortable with. As she approaches her due time and her provider starts bringing up scheduling an induction at 40 weeks, she does all the things to try to go into labor. At 39 weeks, her water ruptures spontaneously (and loudly) while sleeping and she has an extremely fast labor, giving birth in only about 4 hours. Josh joins Diana for their baby’s birth story and shares how glad he was they had doulas to help them know they needed to go to the hospital far sooner than they had expected.
