When I had my baby in May 2010, the nurse did not take charge and call the on call OB when my baby's heartbeat was getting REALLY slow during contractions, she kept waiting on my OB to get out of a c-section. We waited about 30-45 minutes so scared and stressed out then we finally insisted they call the hospital OB. When he was delivered, the cord was around his neck. SO terrible to know and go through. Also, after he was born they didn't take his blood sugar correctly and it turned out that it was DANGEROUSLY low and he was getting shaky and jittery and just not right so someone took his blood sugar again and it was so low, they gave him formula to try to bring it up. Again. Scary and unnecessary to go through. He could have had serious problems if it had gone undetected. Lack of competent people in charge over there, in my opinion.
