I was due for a c section on 12th april. i'd completed my pre op and had 1 week to wait before meeting baby!
i was worried about going into labour before my date but was told would be treated as an emergency so i tried to chill!
4 days before my section my waters broke!
in hospital i was asked again why i was having a section! i tried my best to explain whilst in labour but it all fell on deaf ears!
i felt the midwives were less than sympathetic, the doctor had her own ideas on why i should be ok to give birth vaginally having done so 3 times before.
i was given excuse after excuse on why i wouldnt be sent for a section just yet, 3 emergencies before me?! i didnt believe that! couldnt have and epidural as anaesthetist was busy! didnt believe that either!
the midwife examined me, saying i wouldnt be considered for section until atleast 4cm dialated, luckily i was 4cm dialated but after that check it was just another excuse after excuse!
as u might be able to tell, i was quite fed up with having to explain my reasons for a c section as i was told i wouldnt need to go through it again and again!
i was so upset with everyone for not listening to me! it was like my worst nightmare.
my labour lasted 2.5hrs in all from waters breaking, so im not sure if there would have been enough time for the section, i would have liked to have found out atleast.
i had a horrendously painful birth and recovery!
tore everywhere even into bladder, hated the catheter and was ready to pull it out because it was causing me so much pain, ive had it in before without problems!
to make things worse it seems like again my babys soft spot has fused so another child with potential head problems and the whole reason i wanted section was to avoid them!!
i have a healthy, live baby boy out of it all! he is the only positive out of the whole thing! its just i feel let down by everyone at the hospital especially after fighting for a section and attending counselling etc, i feel led on by all the 'professional' and angry i couldnt have section early as i wanted to avoid all the problems that i was faced with!
