Whenever I was pushing, I was literally grunting because I felt like he was there, but he wasn't coming. Jennifer came in around eight and then probably around 10 or so. There was another lady that came in who was the birth assistant that I had paid the money for. She was coming in whenever I was having contractions every now and then to listen to the heart rate with the little Doppler.
I don't know how long she listened to them. I don't know if she would listen for the full 60 seconds or not, but I do remember her coming in every now and then. Now we get to probably around four o'clock. And this is when Jennifer burst into the room. And she's like, okay, let's get this baby out. Just so random because she hadn't really been in the room all day.

And we had been asking her, trying to figure out when we know he's coming. She had told us that it wasn't a concern about the meconium. She never said anything about the contraction slowing down, my labor progressing. Never said anything about me being in labor forever. over almost 60 hours now. After she burst into the room, she had me lay on the bed on my back and they could see his head.

Malik's father looked and he's like, oh yeah, I see it. It was the same thing that I felt when I was in the shower hours ago, hours, hours ago. Because when I took a shower, it was that morning. And this was now around 4 p.m. And my water had already been broke and meconium was leaking. So he had already been in distress for hours.

There was no concern ever expressed throughout the entire time until what I'm about to say now. And even then, she didn't seem that concerned. It was only whenever I was having the contraction, she would use the Doppler every now and then. It wasn't every contraction. My next contraction come, but it was very difficult. It was hard for me to push laying on my back the way she had me.

So when the contraction come, I couldn't really push that well. She's like, I'm going to help you on your next contraction. I don't know what she was going to do, to be honest, but that's what she said. She was going to help me get him out. She had inserted four fingers. And after that, Malik's heart rate drops below 70.

Mind you, in the middle of this, whenever I'm laying on the bed and his heart rate first drops, she gets a phone call from another mom or something calling in because she's the on-call midwife. So she answers the phone in the middle of this. Now she's telling me, OK, I may have to have you do a couple of maneuvers. We're going to try to get his heart rate up. She had me stand up and try to push.

I think at some point it may have came up to like maybe 100 or something. It never went back up to where it was supposed to be. Then she had me sit on the stool. After that, she tells the student midwife to look for the phone book because she says we may have to transfer you. The student midwife tries to call.
