Summary

In this shorty episode you'll get a play by play of what it was like when I recently cared for a patient who had a low intervention hospital birth. Here are a few things that were included -

no IV fluids (but a saline lock)
intermittent monitoring
limited cervical exams (I only did 2 during her more than 12 hours of labor)
encouraging moving
eating and drinking as she desired
and more!
