No no not in labour

This is my funny story from last shift. One of my ladies had had ruptured membranes for a while and had been niggling, good tech term, getting mild irregular contractions, since the night before. It was her 2nd baby and she had had a quick labour with her first, stating to get stronger and worrying her more, panadol and a warm shower and call partner, still on the ward not yet birthing unit. Told BU no no they said not in labour they are too irregular. I said some people deliver with irreg contractions no no they dont. Told the girl when you think you need the gas entonox tell me I'll take you round to BU. Told BU I'd be bringing her round when she needed more pain relief even if she wasnt getting more regular pains. Either she had a low pain tolerance or she was progressing either way if they need pain relief they should have it. I think it should be the mothers choice anyway.
Later she said i think i need the gas so walked her round to BU they all busy got them to give her the breathing thing and left it with them. 3/4 hr later one of the other MIdwifes rings up you know that girl that wasnt in labour shes delivered, We laughed. I'm going to give midwife no no a hard time about that,
Midwife no no comes around later says I checked her 15mins before she delivered she wasnt in labour she said, seriously some people are never wrong. We laughed again and went round to see beautiful baby girl and very clever mother who delivered not in labour.

Well, that was good one. Medical Training would be helpful for more such operation
