Meet Josephine Faith! She was born at 1 pm today. Around noon they were having me try laboring in different positions as she was presenting sunny side up when they lost her heartbeat on the fetal monitor. The nurse moved it around for a minute or two and couldn't find it. They called the doctor in and he tried twice to place a scalp lead on her and still couldn't find it. At this point DH and I were losing our shit and they were calling for an OR suite to be prepped (which both of them were in use so I think they were prepping a triage room as an emergency OR). They pulled in an ultrasound machine and were finally able to find her heartbeat. It looked like she was having decels and the doctor thought maybe she had a slight arrythmia. Most terrifying moment of my life. Meanwhile my epidural was failing. And I went from 6 cm to complete in about 10 minutes so she was caught by the nurse (with an assist by the anesthesiologist who was coming in to check on his shitty epidural job). Yay for accidentally unmedicated birth!
