One Born Every Minute had an angel in it's midst. Midwife Lorraine, who was new to the hospital and yet to help deliver her first baby there was brilliant. She could be clearly heard explaining why it wasn't good for Kelly (having her 5th baby) to be on her back, and encouraging her to move on to her side if she wasn't prepared to stand up and move about a bit.
This is what's needed. Giving clear information coupled with the benefits. Kelly insisted that she should have her water's broken as they've never broken naturally before. It could have been that she wasn't given the encouragement or opportunity to allow it to be natural before. Yet again, Lorraine insisted that she just needed to give it a little more time. Lo and behold, Kelly was finally encouraged to move on to her side and within minutes her waters popped and baby presented.
Absolute magic!
Can we have more of this please?
As for the prolonged inducement of Joy's birth and having her water's broken at 1cm...please, I'd rather not go there right now..!
