We had our antenatal class reunion, and out of the 10 couples, only 2 of us had a spontaneous, natural labour. Actually, you probably wouldn't class mine as natural, as it was augmented with the drip. But I had no further intervention and had a vaginal birth.

The REST were inductions.. leading to c/s (I think.. there was actually one couple I didn't get to talk to) Oh wait.. actually one induction did result in a natural delivery.

The inductions were for varying reasons - blood pressure, 2 days late!!, 2 weeks late, gest. diabetes, .. and don't know the other reasons.

And all the time I was thinking about Kelly emphasising the risks of induction leading to further intervention! it's so true!

Anyway.. just wanted to share, as it really brought home to me the risks of not being fully informed and just following the hospital's lead.

Oh and btw.. only 3 of us are still breastfeeding. Many didn't make it much past the hospital stay
