Dipping heartrate
Did anyone else have an idiot for a doctor that let you continue with a vaginal birth while your baby's heartrate kept dipping?

How do you mean kept dipping? I had 2 vaginal births & both my girls had slower heartrates imbetween contractions but raised heartrates during contractions. If you are saying that your baby's heartrate didn't rise during each contraction then I would be asking to go through your medical notes for the delivery to determine why they took the actions they did and a c-sec wasn't considered. Best wishes.
My babies heart rate dipped between contractions, I ended up needing forceps, it turned out that his cord was rond his neck which was why is heart rate dropped but he was fine
My childrens heartrates dipped during my contractions. Still continued to have vaginal births with both. The first I was on the drip so they kept turning it off and on. The 2nd there was no drip but still dipped during contractions going back up inbetween.
