Emergency c section
I had my little boy last week - I was so desperate to have everything as natural as possible - my waters broke in the morning I went back to bed and tried to get some sleep - when I woke up the waters were a horrible colour so went to the hospital where it was confirmed there was meconium in them, so I was then induced to get me going on an oxytocin drip - I didn’t want pain relief just a water birth so I did 18 hours on an oxy drip just with gas and air, I got to 10cm dilated and started pushing etc after being in the pool, I then was told there was a bit of my cervix in the way and they couldn’t get him over it, by this point I was so drained and just couldn’t take anymore! It then just went on for so long I started panicking about why he wasn’t coming I was given the option for an emergency section but it was a big risk because of how long my labour had been going on. I had the section and everything was fine in the end but both me and my partner feel like it was so traumatic and just not how we wanted or expected it to go - I now keep going over and over it and how disassociated I felt with my baby to start with 🥺😢
