30 Something Baby Doc

It was a busy day on labor and delivery and I had admitted a very pleasant and intelligent WF in her mid 30's for active labor. The patient was multiparous (Having given birth two or more times) and this was her 4th pregnancy. Her husband was on his way to the hospital and she was very excited. Her cervix was dilated to 4 centimeters when I admitted her from triage to the labor and delivery unit. I addressed all of her concerns and explained that she could have a epidural when she felt she needed it. She believed she could wait a little longer. She showed me a few pictures of her 3 children that were very cute. I was busy writing orders for the patient when the nurse called me to her room 30 minutes after her admission stating she was feeling pressure. I examined the patient and her cervix completely dilated and she ready to deliver. I happily explained to the patient she was ready to deliver and could therefore could start pushing right away. I also sadly explained is was too late for an epidural given her proximity to delivery. The patient peered at me sternly, immediately put her middle finger in my face and yelled " Fuck You, You Motherfucker". It's nice to be appreciated. After only 2 pushes she delivered a healthy baby boy. Mom and baby did fine. She apologized to me for her abrupt behavior after the delivery. I wondered if her husband was intentionally tardy?
