They cut me first, after getting me to put my knees to my chest to see of that would help? Then after a few minutes he asked if I would allow the forceps as she was stuck. They had me in stirrups by then and he wrapped towels around the end of the forceps and (I think braced his foot on the bed) he was pulling so hard that I was being pulled off the bed. I was very drugged up so I didn't even register at time how freaked out everyone seemed? DP is pretty traumatized by it all, when he rang people to tell them she was here he just kept repeating "they cut Jess like a chicken"
I had been on my back for a while after an epidural as well which I think doesn't help positioning does it?
Hopefully the hospital notes will make it a bit clearer? I don't want a c section if I don't have to, but I don't want to go through that ever again. I know I have ages but this is keeping me up at night stressing!
*hugs* I'm really sorry to hear about your previous experience. Maybe it is worth getting your old notes and talking with someone and going through them so you know exactly what happened and might help you understand better and then know if there is a chance it might happen again.
