EP 113: Failed Epidural and Unplanned Cesarean Birth with Alyssa Oliphant
Episode description
In this episode Alyssa is coming on to share about her birth story. Alyssa's labor stalled out - causing her to consent to pitocin to help bring her contracts closer together. She then opted for an epidural which actually failed twice and needed to be replaced. After pushing for over 2 hours with little to no progress she decided in a cesarean birth. Although she says there is a lot she would have changed, in the end everything played out perfectly to get her daughter here safety. It turned out she had a nuchal cord (umbilical cord around her neck) that was getting tighter every time she pushed. Her nurse said that in all her 30+ years she has never seen a baby life through a cord that tight.
