They do need consent every time and it can be withdrawn at any point even if you've consented before

if you've signed a consent form before being brought to the labour ward they don’t need to ask every time, no. You can withdraw consent at any time though that is true.
Ah thank you, sorry, in my setting and trust we have to ask before every VE, but that might have been the case with Melanie that she signed and agreed!
She might not have signed one and in that case yes, he should have asked every time. It’s wrong of me to assume she did. I didn’t watch her video and by the sounds of it she didn’t like her dr anyway. I don’t think any labour minus calm, pool and whale sounds would have been good enough for her.
I agree, it doesn't sound like she was flexible or her expectations were managed (by herself)
How did she think they would know when she was dilated enough to push if they couldn't examine her is all I want to know, then again Melanie is the only woman on the planet to have ever been pregnant or given birth so of course she would know a better way!!
You can deliver without examinations, there are other indications re dilitation and readiness to push... But it is more common practice to have them.
second this. You can also look for a “purple line” Startjng in the anus which indicates readiness to push - however not every woman has this. Also hot legs, etc. But it’s ridiculous, the most straightforward way is VE.
I understand every birth is different but having given birth twice now, at that late point of labour the sensation of a dr or midwife examining you is like a drop in the ocean compared to contractions. I arrived at the hospital in June this year, 8cm dilated and I could not feel anything the midwife was doing - just the pain of the contraction. I think it is really important for medical staff to inform you about what they are about to do but to have an expectation that you be coached through a vaginal examination during labour feels a little naive/precious when you are about to give birth. The Dr will have been trying to make a judgement call as to whether her most powerful pushing was going to be enough to progress bub down the canal or not.
I honestly think if they left her to continue pushing she’d have been at it for hours and possibly ended up with even worse tearing than what she had in the end. I know a few women who had big babies majority had a c section any of them that did push it out ended up with a lot of tearing literally the vagina and anus where one by the end of it 
There's a DOCTOR in the comments who said ENOUGH.
She needs to get in the bin. She's citing "researchers at Columbia" to a bleeping doctor.
STAWP.

She is putting in a formal complaint?? Jeez she is the absolute worst. The poor bugger was just doing his job to ensure the safety of her and her baby. Can hospitals ban patients?!!
God she's so arrogant. There's absolutely no way to reason with people like her.There's a DOCTOR in the comments who said ENOUGH.

Wooowwwwwww. She couldn't change into her special hospital gown. How inconsiderate of her doctors to prioritize the life and health of her baby over her being in an Instagrammable gown.
honestly? I hope she does because all her care and what happened will be written in her clinical notes and her discharge summary. She doesn’t have a leg to stand on.
