I wanted a natural honme birth as my last hospital birth was so traumatic but that has slipped through my fingers due to small baby with very small head and gd. I have put my foot down and said if there is no clinical reason why I have to be on a labour ward then I will agree to be in hospital on the proviso I go no where that ward. They have birthing suits elsewhere in the hospital for low risk labours so I will have one of those.
In my heart I am frightened of that place and still traumatized from my son's birth. I don't want this fear to get in the way and I don't want to be pushed around. I don't want drugs in my face. I dont want them to whip her out, cut the cord and rush placenta delivery like they can't wait to get me out of there. I want things to go the way nature intended and at it's own pace
What can I do to stop things being overmedicalised and frightening?
