Hi ladies,
I'm not pregnant, nor am I planning on TTC again just yet but I'm already starting to think about birth with #2 and I really really want a HVBAC! Do you think its a viable option for me?
In my labour with Max I got to 9cm with no pain relief before opting for an epi (i know, i know, intervention leads to intervention etc!) and then i failed to progress and ended up with an emergency c section due to Max being back to back and in distress.
I really don't want anything like this to happen with my next labour. I had plans to be all natural, calm etc and it just didn't happen, which I have basically come to terms with now. The midwives at the hospital kept me in triage for 4 hours (4cm-8cm), gave me no option for a birthing pool and then kept me strapped to the bed until taking me for surgery and I don't want it to happen again.
Are there any tips/advice/books/research you could show me so that I can be fully equipped to put my suggestion across next time round? I'd be so grateful!
