Well those three shocks are great!

My OB was very supportive too! So shocked and even when i moved interstate and coulnt find a GP that would write scripts for my MW i called her and she did everything over the phone! Only wish there were more OBs like that vocal in the AMA!

Poor you with the BP issue. I cant believe no one re took your BP with a manual machine, 1st rule of real nursing care (yes before anyone jumps down my throat, yes i can say that as i am a nurse!)

And your hours different to labour would have been when they started to count your 'active' labour time. Often shorter then the women thinks! My first 6hrs, 2nd 2hrs, 3rd.....10mins and yes DH caught him at our homebirth!

Happy birthing!
