Brianna (Caller)

Yeah, I remember at around that two in the morning time frame, I looked over at my husband and I said, I'm going to die on this bed. I don't think this baby's coming. I'm bleeding. I cannot stop pushing. It was so painful not to push.

The pushing almost became involuntary because it was like my body's reaction to shield me from a little bit of the pain, like it'll take a little bit of the edge off. These contractions are killing me. I couldn't fathom getting out of that house. I didn't think it was going to happen.

I think that combined with, I got my hopes up when she broke my water. I got my hopes up when she was doing the sideline techniques. The fact that we had done all those interventions and it was still two hours later and nothing progressing... I do not know what gave me the energy to say I got to go. But at two, whatever stroke of something hit me and I said, I cannot do this.

And I said, get me checked and I want to go to the hospital. 2.24, Elizabeth came in, she checked, and in the notes, the comment says, midwife explaining to patient that her cervix is very swollen. It is important that she does not continue to push until the cervix can be allowed to return to normal. Discuss that physician intervention would be best at this time.

Patient agrees and expresses a desire to go to Bumsey. And I do recall when she told me my cervix was swollen and that it probably would be a good idea to go to the hospital. I remember looking at her and being like, yeah, we're going. I'm going. No discussion. I told her I couldn't stop pushing. She just said to breathe through it as best as possible. You need to stop pushing.

What did you feel when they told you that? terror. I mean, it was like, what do I do? What am I doing to my baby? She never offered me an ambulance. I thought, putting my trust in them, that if it was bad enough where they thought I needed an ambulance service, they would 100% jump to the ambulance service without question.

The fact that she was saying, okay, the student midwife's going to lead you to the hospital, you're going to get in your car and drive, I thought must not be a dire situation. It's going to hurt like hell walking to the car, but she must not be that concerned. So at that point, I was very much confident I wanted to transfer.

Elizabeth said, okay, well, I have to write up your notes and send them over to Bumpsy and let them know you're coming. So I'm going to step out, get all that stuff together. You guys pack up your bags, get out to the car. The student midwife, follow her. But wait in your car until I'm done with the notes because I got to make sure they're over there. Elizabeth left the room.
