My OB was there. I went into hospital at about 4pm and he popped into to check on my labour at about 7pm & then stayed with me until Olivia was delivered.

Whilst Olivia was born naturally with no drugs, I believe I managed this because of him, rather than despite him.

Olivia got really stuck behind my pelvis at one stage (even though she was small at 7lb 2oz) and if it hadn't been for him, I dread to think what may have happened in terms of shoulder distocia.

I loved seeing him every couple of weeks through my pregnancy, built a fantastic rapport with him, and he gave me so much reassurance through the whole pregnancy & the whole delivery. He delivers around 50 babies a month.

I have seen the same OB with my current pregnancy and I take Olivia with me and he always delights in seeing her, which is so cute. My only regret is that because we are moving interstate he won't be delivering my next baby!
