Aww darling well done for speaking about it. So many women feel robbed of a “perfect” birth I’ve had this myself and we blame ourselves so it’s good to speak about it so we know it’s just how it is and nothing to do with us at all xxx
Really appreciate you making this video!! I’ve just recently had an emergency c section (two weeks postpartum) after 3 day failed induction with 4x attempts of the balloon insertion resulting in the gel being used anyway. I Can really relate to the emotions you describe of the c section and is just what I needed right now as I too struggled emotionally with the initial bond which I feel would have come so much easily with a more natural birth. Not having the natural labour I so desperately wanted was gutting and was exhausted after the induction but it’s getting easier to accept and bond with baby now. Look forward to watching part 2! Thanks again! Laura xx
Thank you Laura for taking the time to comment ♥️ I’m sorry you went through a tough time- I’m so envious of everyone that had a straightforward birth- I wish I could have experienced a different labour xxxx
I had gestational diabetes with my pregnancy. In 2017, had to test my blood sugar manually with the strips and the pen. That was so annoying and inconvenient. I wasn't allowed in the midwifery suite. I was induced twice. Was on labetalol for high blood pressure. It does sound like things have gotten abit better since I was pregnant. It was a complete no, never for birthing pool for me. I just had a hospital bed. Very clinical. I didn't end up getting a epidural even though I very badly needed one as I was told the person who could do it was on their lunch break. 😮 😅 It's something I will never forget lol my boy will be 6 next month. I only have the 1. He's like 3 kids in 1. I enjoyed watching your video. I came from Gemma miles video that she linked you in. X
I really love how down to earth you are! My second son was 10 pounds 5 ounces! go us!! 😅I think because he was my second baby, the birth was only 7 hours, but the pressure, wow!😅Look forward to the 2nd part. Congrats on your beautiful baby girl Olive💞💞💞
I don’t remember much of my labor at all!! It’s crazy! It’s like a really big night out with major back outs. I also just went with lot of what the midwife’s said too with them breaking my waters. I think I was too high to advocate for myself 🙈 was it the pethadine injection in your leg? Xx
It wasn’t pethadine it was like a morphine thing- I can’t remember the name :( Yep I agree- it’s crazy how many people have blank spaces in their labour x
Hello Tiffany! I don’t know how it is over there in the U.K. but here in Portugal you have 6 months to make a complaint. If you feel they didn’t respect your wishes or feel like they punished you for your choices you should defo get a hand on your records and go see a lawyer, preferably one that is familiar with these issues. My birth did not go to my plan and they did some things they had to ask for consent and didn’t, and I wished I knew I could have done something. When I knew it had already passed the 6 months mark, I still wrote a complaint to the health services but could no go to court anymore. I still blame myself to this day that I allowed them to do some things I knew I did not want (like you I wanted the more natural birth possible, minimal to no intervention)…at the time everything changes and I was completely alone the whole time because it was during covid… The important thing at the end I think is you and her are here and healthy…enjoy the newborn time, I miss it so much! :)
