I had a latina patient who was fully dilated and effaced when I entered the room. Her husband didn't want me in the room until she was pushing. There was a possibility that she was going to need a C-Section so the nurse got everything prepped. Her nurse then told me that is was oligohydraminos so they had a machine running to add fluid around the baby to prevent cushion. Right after the delivery there was a huge gush of fluids that had previously been "inserted" into the mom. Her uterus had trouble contracting so they increased her pitocin and other IV fluids. Her MD did some extreme fundal massaging to help stimulate contractions. She continued to bleed so he started to stuff her vagina with gauze. After a short period she was moved to high risk for recovery.
The baby was a healthy girl!
