A friend of mine is in labour as we speak, first bub. She was trying for a waterbirth, and was labouring REALLY well in the bath, feeling good and in control. Then they discover that bubs is breech, so she is on her way for a caesarean because she's never birthed before.

'If this was your second or third baby we'd let you try, but because its your first we won't risk it.'

That just doesn't make sense to me - even if this was her second baby, she still wouldn't have birthed a breech baby!

I hope she's still feeling in control and confident in herself, I hope she can still feel proud of her birthing experience *shakes fist at hospital*
