Episode 57: Maddie's Birth Story

A few days before Maddie's due date, her doula let her know that she was ill. She made sure she was set up with a backup doula and they crossed their fingers that labor wouldn't start until she was better. Maddie started having contractions on Sunday afternoon, the day before her estimated due date. They headed into the hospital that evening to avoid driving in snowy conditions later on. In triage, Maddie's blood pressure was elevated and they inserted a catheter to get a urine sample. She consented to a cervical check, however she did not want to know the dilation of her cervix. Maddie was admitted and labored through the night and the following day. She labored in the tub, changing positions, walked the halls of the hospital, and tried anything possible to relieve her back labor.

On Monday afternoon Maddie decided to get an epidural and tried to rest. She continued changing positions to help her baby change positions. Once she was ready to push, Maddie tried several different positions to see what worked best. Her midwife let Maddie know that she was starting to tear a bit and suggested an episiotomy. Maddie agreed to the episiotomy and early Tuesday morning, Maddie gave birth to a baby girl! Maddie's baby was posterior, forehead presenting, and had a double nuchal cord! Baby Norah had quite the large bump on her forehead, but that quickly resolved and she is doing wonderfully at 4 weeks old.
