I agreed with you Aeroknow. Second stage is often prolonged with epidurals for several reasons sometimes leading to premature surgical intervention.Again, from midwife classes, women in a hospital have unnecessary c-sections because of being in a hospital, and are supposed to pop out the kid on their time.
I'm saying in this instance that was not the case. I frankly think she should have been sectioned immediately.
Edit: PS I think you misread my initial post. I hope it was because you had a great NYE party LOL
