Yes, she held in my son, but I was on an epidural, so I had no idea. Right after delivery, they told me I was "this close" to having a C-section because the baby's heart rate kept dropping and they kept making me flip from side to side. Then they finally checked and hello, I was completely ready to have this baby. Just craziness. I am glad they didn't give you any grief for wanting to go where your babies went! It seems these days like the hospital feels like they own the patient. "You can't leave until we say. We know better than you do. You will do what we say." Anyway, I think it's pretty much like that everywhere. Crazy.

That’s just sad how they do that to mothers. They give them drugs and then say “oh no your baby’s heart rate is dropping we gotta get him out asap, over to the operating room.” I once heard of a family that challenged that. They were told the baby’s head rate was dropping but they chose to believe the baby was fine and allowed the mother to continue on birthing naturally. Turns out the baby was fine and she had a healthy normal delivery. They took a chance because they heard that was a scare tactic to get parents to consent to a cesarean. You just never know but it would be scary to take a chance like that.
I’ve had my experience of telling doctors no and expressing my concern with things. They do try to intimidate you by their knowledge but I have knowledge too. 😁
