Suzanne,
I have never ever heard of anyone other than the hospital I worked at in
Denver given a minim of pit for labor. When I even mentioned it, people
thought I was crazy and said no doc would ever over that. Well I am so
glad someone else has come forth and said yes we did give a minim of
pit. Yes that was in the old days.
