DS1: I had PE and and was induced at 38 weeks. BP jest kept going up so despite my body labouring well I had to have an emercency c/s.
Drugs: gel on cervix. Lots of bp meds. Pethadine. Spinal when taken to theatre. Magnesium sulphate and morphine after c/s.
Complications: PE
Feelings: yes I was disappointed because I hadn't wanted it to go the way it did, but I was OK with the drugs and interventions as I was kept in the picture and felt that it was justified in the best interests of both me and bub. I recovered fine, bonded well with bub and was able to bf... so besides a scar I was OK. Knew that I wanted it to be different next time though.

DS2: VBAC. No PE until post birth. AROM at 8cm.
Drugs: Gas. Local while tear being repaired.
Complications: None besides a 2nd degree tear.
Feelings: Over the moon. I got my vaginal delivery. I knew I didn't want an epidural but my goal was never to be drug free as such.
