Your client has a history of chronic hypertension from 2018-2021. She had a healthy childbirth experience in 2022, but she did develop hyptertension in her second trimester, which sustained for the remainder of the pregnancy. She did not experience hypertension postpartum. She is now 24 weeks pregnant with her second child. Although she has not experienced hypertension in this pregnancy yet, her clinical care team has advised her to schedule an induction at 39 weeks. Your client calls you crying because she does not want an induction - she says she heard that the process is painful and can take a long time. How would you handle this situation?

According to the intake questionnaire, your client Larissa wants a completely umedicated birth. You notice in one of your prenatal appointments that her partner, Jonathan, makes snarky remarks about her pain tolerance. Larissa tells Jonathan that she will be fine, that there are plenty of non-clinical pain management methods and that's why they chose to hire you. He laughs and tells her she "needs the epidural like last time". What do you feel like is your role in their relationship dynamic?

Your client was told that she's a candidate for VBAC, but she has to have a hospital birth due to the risks associated with the type of incision she had. She is confident that she can have a home birth, and plans to continue receiving her prenatal care at the hospital, but plans to stay home and never report to the hospital. Her partner is very supportive of this plan because he knows you will be at their home for early and active labor, so you can deliver the baby. How would you handle this situation?

Your client is 36w6d gestation. It is her first pregnancy. She called you and said that she is having contractions that are five minutes apart. Based on the contract you have with her, you have to report to her home within two hours of receiving this type of notification if it falls within your on-call period. You, however, are out of town on baecation, and she doesn’t know that. Your flight is in four hours, so you're certain you’ll make it back in time. A.) Contractually, based on what was taught in the course, what is your obligation to her based on her gestational age? B.) Ethically, based on what was taught in the course and your personal philosophies, what do you believe is the right way to handle this situation? Discuss how this issue could have been avoided and strategies to rectify the situation in real time.

Your client has been in labor for 12 hours at a local area hospital. You reported to the hospital immediately upon her admission. Clinical interventions were not in her birth plan, but her nurse noticed that she's been anxious the past few hours and requests for the provider to come in for a check. Her OBGYN comes in, performs a physical exam report of 5/80/-2 and is about to convince her to accept Pitocin to "speed things up". So far, apart from her anxiety, she has been coping well. The provider leaves the room to order the Pitocin "just in case". How would you handle this situation?
