I was a support for one of Dr Jenkins patients and was horrified with how she was treated. Was given an epidural at 9cms because he couldn't be bothered to get out of bed at 4am and then came in at 8:30am saying she wasn't progressing enough and that they would need to put her on syntocinon to speed up the labour. She then was pressured and feared into this route by a horrible Midwife that said they were stupid for questioning him and that they cant expect to know better than an OB. She also said that they should be thankful for the drugs because, and I quote, " We arent in Africa so instead of being in labour for 3 days be thankful we can get your baby out"
The Mum was then belittle by both Dr Jenkins and the Midwife for asking questions and was told that without the drugs she would not be able to give birth and would need a Csection.
I walked away horrified with the way they treated this Mum. Choose your OB carefully and keep in mind an OB that specialises in High Risk pregnancies will look at all their clients the same way.
I would recommend avoiding this OB and Norwest private as much as possible if you want respect and care during your birth.
