While you were pregnant, a relative offered to come help during labor. You said yes because you didn’t want to hurt her feelings. Now that you’re in active labor, she’s making you crazy, and you cringe when she touches you. What should you do?	You’re uncomfortable with the nurse who has been assigned to you. She doesn’t seem to value your opinion, or respect your choices about your labor. What do you do?
A two-part question: Ask first question, discuss that for a while, then add the next set of data and discuss some more. You’re 6 days past your due date, and ready for baby to arrive. The doctor offers induction. What do you say? Dr. checks your cervix: it’s posterior, and hasn’t started to soften or efface. Baby’s doing fine on tests of fetal well-being.	At 6:00 yesterday evening, you started noticing contractions. They happen every 15 or 20 minutes. You also had loose bowel movements. You tried to sleep last night, but didn’t sleep well. Now it’s 10:00 am and contractions are still 15 minutes apart. What do you do?
Mom’s been in labor for about 6 hours. Contractions have been 5 minutes apart and 1 minute long for over an hour now. She says they’re hurting, but she is relaxed between contractions, and can walk around and talk during contractions. What do you do?	When active labor began, you went to hospital. When you arrive, contractions get WAY more intense. Mom demands an epidural, but then when they start to prep her for it, she suddenly stands up, saying she needs to go to the bathroom. What might this mean? What do you do?

With every contraction, you feel pressure on your lower back, and it hurts. What does this mean? What can you do to encourage your labor pattern to change? What comfort measures will help with this back pain?
