The forceps looked evil

what are ur reasons why i will also be putting on mine no forceps c sec only

 

[Arcanegirl]

Theyre linked with a higher death rate
Im okay with a vontouse if needed though

I didnt see the forceps bit, must have blinked or something But yeah I felt really bad for the woman wanting an epidural and they just kept putting it off and off... They said she could have one if she wanted, then just kept making her wait til it was too late and she no longer had a choice And the MW saying in a bitchy voice she was 'only' 3cm... Maybe so but people handle pain differently. Idk I usually cant stand the ones who make a big song and dance about it because I was the total opposite and didnt see the need, I just really felt for her cos she seemed really genuinely distressed rather than just sat there screaming for the sake of it like some of them do.

I think a lot of the asking for an epidural etc was fear and panic..I mean we all say things in labour..I begged the mw for a csection at 5cm,I didn't really want one though.x

i screamed for an epidural but my screaming went on for all of 10 mins (the mw made me lie down when i had b2b labour and it was awful and then she broke my waters ) but soon as the g& kicked in i was fine. I think since she was asking for one for so long they should have given her one she seemed really distressed

i feel so guilty and angry with myself for having forceps now! he was facing the wrong way so he wouldnt fit out..tore my cervix on the way down..i dont remember it being quite as brutal as that though..i thought they were just using them to twist his head round..

my poor little baby..he's still got a scar and his skulls a weird shape from them

that made me feel sick

Ventouse is a better option than forceps. Still better to not be in a position to need assistance (most often a consequence of the chain of intervention). My son was delivered by ventouse and I was damaged a long time though he wasn't. I also was persuaded to have an epidural (the only reason I needed assistance) when I was about 3cm but then I'd been in labour over 24hrs. I don't see that dilation is necessarily the only indication of pain.

that sarah or w.e was pretty annoying with her screaming so bad and begging for an Epi as soon as she got there barely in established labour lol I mean she was told to go for a walk to help but she got as far as teh door then ran back for the gas then layed on her back for the rest of the show. She did need a firm mw because the second one soon sorted her out.

The forceps looked EVIL!! i thought she was going to just pull a babys head out!! poor lady being ripped off the bed to. Its her mum it says when they put the names up, Julie Julia's mum lol

 

[annawrigley]

Yeah why did he call his gf's mum Mum?

Agreed, and after all it is a choice and we're always told its a choice yet they don't give it to someone screaming for it repeatedly? I know the MWs could tell she maybe didnt NEED it, but she felt she needed it so they should have respected that! I felt really hot and took my leggings off as soon as I got there cos it made me more comfortable, if they had said no put your leggings back on you dont need them off I would have been pretty annoyed. Its my labour not theirs! Pretty poor example but you see what I'm getting at

 

[lesleyann]

Yeah why did he call his gf's mum Mum?

close relationship i guess i used to call one of my ex's mum's mum#2 lol but ive never call oh's mum mum lol

 

[PeanutBean]

Just watching it now. Why did the MW say to Sara is it that her contractions might yet fizzle out?! She's clearly hugely afraid.

I didnt like that blonde midwife at all, came accross so two faced. More interested in tea and crap stories abut drawing glasses on her husband yeah LOLZ theres a woman going out of her mind with fear down the corridoor whilst you stroll on down.

If i was pregnant and going to that hospital i would demand not to have her lol.

Not a good episode for natural birthing. Again...

Why not?

The woman who gave birth without the epidural she so desperately thought she needed .. or the woman with a hole in her heart and leaking valves :/ Both seemed natural to me.

 

[winegums]

I thought they aren't allowed to give an epidural before the woman is in established labour? Not stickig up for blOnde midwife btw she was horrible and seemed very uncaring but she was correct telling the Sara that her contractions could stop - there is always this chance before the woman is in established labour and she offered her other pain relief instead

 

[// arcadia]

For me it was more the way she did it .. all like smarmy nice to sara .. then when shes back with the midwives all sarky bitchy .. at least the 2nd midwife told her straight to her face - that was much more respectable.
