This is exactly why Mother Nature designed babies to have a skull that was made up of plates - so they could perfectly mould to fit through a pelvis. Don't listen to anything she says - she was told and outright lie by her Ob. If a woman is left to let her body do what it is meant to, her baby will take the time it needs to allow it's head to mould and fit through. When I had my first baby, it took nearly 1.5 hours to push him out - which seems like a long time - but it was exactly the amount of time he needed to come out slowly and let his head mould to fit. When he was born he had this massive cone shaped head because of it. His HC at birth was 35 cm, but 2 weeks later it was 40 cm! His head didn't grow that big that quickly, but the moulding had all gone and his head was a normal shape. Had they left his HC till the moulding went away by day 3, his HC would have been a lot bigger.
