"This was a complicated birth. I had to work through an interpreter. Some of the complications were OP, maternal fever, stalled labor, and meconium staining. Although the mother had an epidural, it was very well titrated and the nurses and doctors were very open to letting the mother labor on hands and knees and use a sqat bar for pushing. The baby was delivered from the squatting position and I was very thankful to the doctors and nurses for being so open to allowing her to use alternative positions ... It is often difficult to know how to support a mother with an epidural because at first glance it looks as if the medicine is totally assisting with the coping."
