What was said

"I really believe had I had my first child at the hospital, I would have ended up in a C-section. I like have no doubt in my mind. So, I had a really long labor."

Taylor Dukes recounts her first birth-centre delivery and says she believes that if she had been labouring in hospital she would have ended up with a Caesarean section because her labour was prolonged and her midwife raised concerns about maternal exhaustion. She says her doula took her to a chiropractor mid-labour for an adjustment, after which she went into active labour on the way back to the birth centre.
