Emotional blockages can cause labour to stall or shut down, being restricted/positional also slows things down - Thursday had a mum pushing for some time, midwife starts talking forceps and I got her into a different, more efficient possie and only a few more pushes, bub was born. Could be a positional thing, emotional thing or both... but having support fall through at that point would be devastating to a birthing mother - so hard to give estimates especially when so many women are induced/augmented and have medicine in their system speeding things up xo
