Birth With Power

Ep 258: Jodi’s Birth Story - Forceps With No Pain Medication

55 min • 14 maj 2024

For many parents, selecting where they’re going to give birth is an important part of the planning process. However, Jodi lives on a small island with only one hospital and didn’t have a choice in the matter.

Though she and her baby are healthy, the birth was intensely challenging. Jodi’s pain went under-treated and many procedures were done without adequate communication. While I want to acknowledge that rural and remote medicine is complex, the pain Jodi suffered is unacceptable.

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

How long it took to get from Jodi’s home to the hospital
How her “advanced maternal age” affected the care she received
Why she was unable to leave the bed during delivery
Why doctors were in a hurry to get the baby out
How doctors could’ve done a better job of communicating
Whether forceps are still commonly used
What it was like for Jodi to experience an episiotomy & forceps delivery without adequate pain management
What steps were taken to deliver/remove the placenta
