Wow. I understand the doctor needing to leave but how on earth did the nurse think it was okay to leave for that long?? I would have been furious. At least they have a nice story about how baby was delivered by her dad.
That's crazy. I had a fantastic nurse when in labor with my son. She kept reassuring me that she could catch the baby if the doctor wasn't in there (he was delivering another baby right before mine), or another doctor could come in. I never felt alone.
