In Maryland anyway, midwives can oversee epidurals and pitocin. I was told had I needed any interventions that I would see an OB if they needed to use forcepts or the vacuum extractor or if I needed a c-section. I would be surprised if she was a CPM delivering in the hospital setting though. Like another poster said maybe she acted as more of a doula for the birth.

However, it felt like Jessa wanted spotlight on herself. It would have been a nice surprise if Jess went into the hospital room alone first, but bringing the boys into the hospital room so soon after, and without warning, was too much. Then the photo shoot with the boys playing in the nursery when Jinger and Felicity haven't had time to settle in was off putting. Maybe it was the plan all along to interview the Seewalds too, but it felt like they were inserting themselves into the Vuolos special time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-26294852043215185522018-08-08T21:20:10.333-05:002018-08-08T21:20:10.333-05:00But Jinger didn't choose Jessa, remember?

We have no idea if she "rudely" went into the nursery and sat on the floor with her boys and touched Felicity's toys without permission and then the magazine people said, "Hey! Let's take a picture!" or the magazine people told them to pose like that. I highly suspect it was the latter. <br /><br />As to the surprise factor, I would have been thrilled to death to have one of my sisters surprise me like that. We were far away from family when my babies were born, just like Jinger, and it would have been very exciting to have one of them there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-79328145650629274342018-08-08T19:55:12.326-05:002018-08-08T19:55:12.326-05:00Her CPM has a shirt on in the hospital with CPM on...Her CPM has a shirt on in the hospital with CPM on it.

And I'm glad she was happy with the epidural.<br /><br />To be clear, though, epidurals and Pitocin are not "precautions." They are responses to complications. They are fairly safe but do carry risks: epidurals often slow things down so much that Pitocin is needed to speed it back up, and Pitocin increases the risks of fetal distress, perineal tearing, and PPD. Yet despite the risk of causing one set of complications, they are useful tools in case of other complications, such as extreme fatigue or pain, extended time after rupture of membranes, or the need to induce labor.<br /><br />I think choosing to induce labor was an understandable choice for Jinger given her concerns about unusual size, and I'm glad it went well for her.Julia K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-23556586875714270922018-08-08T15:19:09.840-05:002018-08-08T15:19:09.840-05:00I viewed it as the midwife taking the role of birt...I viewed it as the midwife taking the role of birthing coach once Jinger was admitted to the hospital. The fact that Jinger made arrangements with her doctor prior to admittance and she had interventions beyond the scope of what midwives do made me think that the doctor was in charge of Jinger's care. They showed enough of the MD team (with one person wearing a face shield) so that I didn't feel the midwife was overstepping anything. Plus, I think the midwife was more than willing to talk to the camera while the doctor didn't want to be featured.<br />Good for Jinger being open to medical intervention. Those interventions helped avoid the c-section. I didn't know an epidural could relax the body enough to facilitate delivery.

You can have privacy by having the others stand where they can't see anything, yet they can still be there to give comfort and moral support. I can see why someone would want that, especially for a first baby.

They grew up sharing bedrooms with their siblings and with a TV camera crew following them. For Jinger, merely NOT having the crew there during the actual birth was more "private" compared to her sisters and sister-in-law.<br /><br />Also, many pregnant women find they benefit from having a lot of support during labor. Some even hire a birth doula just to provide support.

What if something had gone not quite as planned and there were long hospital stays necessary for mother and baby? What if Jinger was plain worn out from delivering and wanted peace and quiet back home? What if she and Jeremy wanted some alone time as a family before having visitors? Weren't they the ones who imposed the "No visitors for a year" policy? Yet here comes Jessa marching in with the entire family in tow. Surprise! I don't understand why that seemed like a good idea to her. It's like she was making the birth all about her. Then she posed with her boys in Jinger's nursery for pictures that were made public. That was too much.
