How would you compare the contractions and experience? I was on pitocin for 3 days and it was pure hell and I'm traumatized from it. I'm weighing between a C-section or natural birth, please tell me how your 2nd natural experience was...?
Why were you needing the pit last time hun?
We're you induced or was it slow progress once labour started?
I only ask because if it were 3 days of he'll your body clearly ready for labour and neither was baby. If you wait it out and let labour happen it's unlikely you'll need it again your body knows what to do. Trust it.

Yeah I def. wasn't ready at all, I was 40+3 but my waters had leaked a few days and I was GBS+ so they said I needed induction.
I'm really struggling with the idea of ever having kids again and I love my OH but sometimes I think that I should leave him because I don't want to have another child
I'll tell you one thing - you are allowed to feel like shit, you are allowed to feel bad and mourn the experience you weren't allowed. Sometimes it isn't enough that baby arrived safely. Sometimes we need more and yes it is selfish but we are allowed to be selfish for this.
Thanks very much girls. Unfortunately no debrief available... I gave birth on the other side of the country and there's no way of getting back to there to discuss. I hate the hospital. I hate the doctors. I want nothing to do with them after what happened.
My ultimate fantasy... is to just have an unassisted birth. Of course, I have zero medical experience aside from OH knowing some advanced first aid rofl so that's out of the question. I had PND after the delivery (and as you might notice, wrote this thread after having a very very bad PND day, far & few between, but it was def. one).
Anyways, I feel robbed by the hospital, violated. I was so naive and unaware, I trusted them. I should not have. I also tore an abdominal muscle during labour and that made the pitocin contractions into pure agony.
I'm still not sure what to do...
