Complications
Nicole agreed to have an epidural so she could endure the contractions and the associated pain. This went against her beliefs, but she had never experienced childbirth before and decided to not make it any harder on herself than it already was. Nicole pushed for another 2.5 hours, but then the baby started showing signs of stress. That was the last thing she wanted now…
Nicole was exhausted and couldn’t take it anymore. She had been fighting for tens of hours. She wanted nothing more than for her baby to be born as soon as possible. Since Nicole was losing her strength, the doctor decided to intervene drastically. He used a vacuum to deliver the baby as soon as possible.
