Giving birth is hard enough without getting trapped in your bed by a mess of wires and cables. Just ask labor and delivery nurse Brigitta Fifield, who spends a lot of time helping her patients get comfortable.
Fifield’s job often required repeated trips to the delivery room to detangle laboring mothers from the cords that connect them to maternal and fetal heart rate monitors. Every time a soon-to-be-mom needed to roll over, use the bathroom or sometimes just scratch a toe, she would have to sort out the cables attached to her body that connected her and the baby to a nearby machine.
