    Case 1: A 22-year-old woman presents at the birthing center dilated to 8 cm with meconium-stained amniotic fluid after her water broke. Her contractions are 2-3 every 10 minutes. You must decide whether to continue monitoring her or refer her to the hospital 4 hours away due to the meconium and slow progress of labor. Case 2: A 29-year-old woman arrives at the birthing facility at 6 am in early labor and has progressed to fully dilated by 2 pm with clear amniotic fluid but has not delivered by 3 pm despite being fully dilated. You must determine if this stalled labor is normal and make a decision about her
