Just looking for some opinions on what the chances are of managing a natural birth in the Obstetric Unit. I am on consultant led care due to 4 early losses and quite severe endo. I had been told at the start that I should be able to go into MLU but yesterday asked MW who checked my notes and apparently the junior doc I saw at booking put down Obs unit due to my scar tissue (tethered ovary, 2 laparoscopies, etc etc). I was really disappointed. I am so nervous about being in the Obs unit as I don't want any interventions unless absolutely necessary.
I am planning water birth (if the one pool is free), using natal hypnotherapy, breathing/positions from pregnancy yoga, massage etc I am just so scared that they are more likely to intervene in Obs unit rather than MLU (I had even been starting to think about homebirth but was told definite no this time!)
Do any of you have experience of natural birth in Obstetric led unit? Please reassure me!!!!!
