At 23:53 hours --- 52 minutes later --- contraction frequency was 3 - 4 and duration was 40 -100. two minutes later the patient requested an epidural for pain. Thirteen minutes after that, the pregnant mother was positioned on the side of the bed for the epidural which was placed 15 minutes later. The
mother was instructed to lie back down as soon as the contraction stopped. The mother was moaning and according to the nursing notes she asked the nurse, " Is it time? " The patient (pregnant mother)
reports that she said, "It is ready to come ."
The patient was then encouraged to lie down in the bed for SVE and the obstetrical teaching service was called for delivery. Within one minute the baby literally fell out onto the floor sustaining a hematoma and skull fracture. The attending nurse's notes indicates that the patient did NOT push.
