Ok, before I even think about TTC again, I need to ask some questions about labour.

I was induced and DD was born via emergency c-sect because she was in fetal distress and I have been told she was obstructed - too big for my pelvis. My Mum lost a baby due to the cord being wrapped around baby's neck during labour and it not being picked up on in time (about 28 years ago) so am really scared now about monitoring etc. I hated being on the CTG because it meant I couldn't move and (I believe) grossly contributed towards my c-sect.

If I am able to find an Ob who will let me VBAC, how much monitoring would I need?
How can they tell if baby is obstructing without CTG?
How can they tell if bubs is in fetal distress without monitoring?

I feel robbed for not getting my natural delivery but am so scared something will happen if I birth naturally because my Ob told me I am unlikely to ever be able to deliver naturally due to pelvic size etc. Being able to overcome some of the issues I have will depend on if and when we have another baby.

TIA
