As the title says I'm pregnant with no2 and my anxiety about the birth is slowly building.
With my son I went into labour early and made it to 10cm without my waters bursting. Up until this point labour was very much bareable. However once the midwife burst my waters all hell broke loose.
My waters were burst at 8.30pm and my son was born at 9.10pm however for that 40 minutes I honestly thought I was dying. I was given gas an air but my son was stuck so they hit the emergency button and gave me an episiotomy without pain relief and tried to place the kiwi cup on his head. Then realised they hadn't cut enough and cut again
luckily the cup went on this time and they quite literally dragged him out.
Everything after this is a bit of a blur however the stitching up process took a very long time with pain relief injections being delivered locally 😭.
This has left me terrified for this second baby, I need to also add my son only weighed 5lb 10.
Has anyone had any positive experiences the second time round?
Thanks
