For someone who is a primip, if we're getting to the three to four hour mark of not making progress with pushing, we're not having a baby here very soon, using those guidelines, that would be an appropriate time to transport for sure.

Is that typical? I would not say that's typical. Most out-of-hospital midwives don't want it to get to that point. When people plan out-of-hospital births or even just a natural birth without pain medication in a hospital, there is a difference between normal labor pain, normal labor progress, and suffering.

Whether that suffering is from a problem during the labor with a malpositioned baby or exhaustion or whether it's the mental part of labor. If we've turned our corner into this is not just normal, you're not able to cope with this anymore. Most of us want to transport for that, not get to the point where you're unable to walk and unable to communicate anymore.

It goes back to we're not just birthing out of hospital to birth out of hospital. If this seems like you're going to have a more positive experience with an epidural, then that's what we're going to do. I don't want suffering to enter the equation.

I think that a really good place to start is asking them what their apprenticeship was like. What experiences did they have throughout that apprenticeship? How long was the apprenticeship? Did you complete an academic program or do self-study or do no didactic work? how many births have you attended and was your attendance at those births for most of the labor and birth or just towards the end?

I think it's also good to ask any midwife, no matter how long she has been practicing, licensed, tell me the complications that you've seen and how you managed those. Tell me about a time that you had an emergency transport. What was that for? How did that go?

Do you have clients who have been in that situation that I can speak to so that I know their perspective on how your care was and how the transport was and how their postpartum was? Those are great questions to ask any provider. The normal questions that I get a lot when people are interviewing me to see if they want to hire me as their midwife is, what's your transfer rate?
