Yeah, I should have mentioned, the things we were able to do were compromises. I didnt just give in, but we did compromise. For a pre-term, I would always have CTG. 1) because on our previous experiences & 2) because pre-term is a high risk.

You want a good birth and that can be done taking into account the needs of both Mum and bub. Which is why I say negotiate. Work with your care providers. You dont need to stay on a bed, but still have CTG. You might not want Abs, but agree to having a cannula put in. Or whatever.

There's bothing wrong with questioning your care providers. The more informed you are throughout, the more empowered you feel, whatever happens.

Hopefuly bub stays baking a lot longer
