I kind of had some hesitations, but no alarm bells going off or anything like that. I was over 39 weeks. She's stripping membranes and I'm doing the breast pump. Finally, she gets me into labor. My contractions have been pretty regular. Nothing was really painful. It gets to later in the day and he keeps putting his hand up above his head and they get him to put his hand down.

They were not too terribly concerned. Caitlin went to do a cervical check. She's doing cervical checks for her own baby. She feels his nose instead of the back top of his noggin. She doesn't say anything to me. She or the other midwife to feel. And they say, that's a nose. And then the other one, the third person goes in and feels too. And they all agree.

And that's when they start saying, we have to go right now to Texas Health Alliance. That's like two miles down the road. While they're on the phone, I'm asking, can I do hands and knees? Like, is there anything I can do to help? I've been to lots of births. I know that there's stuff you can do to get a baby to turn. They're like, yeah, yeah, you can do that.

But they're all so preoccupied in their little huddle that they're not paying any attention to me. They're all freaking out about the baby because Caitlin has already lost one child and they can't let her lose another one.

Absolutely. And even looking back, I'm like, the way his hand kept going up in my pelvis and how big my pelvis is, if I had done inversions or anything, we could have gotten him to move. We eventually get in the car and I ride hands and knees, but with my chest to the ground to the hospital. And they have the Doppler and they're breaking out.

I remember them telling me at one point that his neck might break. And then we get there and the OB says, yep, we're going to take you back. I had an emergency cesarean with her son. He was born around 4 a.m., Gina and Caitlin brought him into my hospital room. They got a different room. Well, they brought the entire family, but I was exhausted. I honestly have no recollection of that happening.

I remember it from pictures. That's all. The next morning, around 10, my husband wasn't there. He had gone home to check on the kids, something. Gina and Caitlin come in with the baby and let me know that they're checking out with the baby against medical advice. Because midwives can provide care for babies until six weeks and they didn't feel like they needed to be there. But I was there.
