DS1:
Did you use any drugs in your birth? No
Did you have complications during your birth? 2nd degree tear (very easy recovery)
Did you experience any feelings of dissapointment, disempowerment and traumatisation? Not at all! I was on a serious emotion high from how empowered and successful I felt.

DD:
Did you use any drugs in your birth? No
Did you have complications during your birth? None
Did you experience any feelings of dissapointment, disempowerment and traumatisation? No

DS2:
Did you use any drugs in your birth? Panadeine Forte at the very beginning of contractions.
Did you have complications during your birth? Bubs seemed to be a bit stuck and was holding on to my pelvis, which was almost unbearable pain.
Did you experience any feelings of dissapointment, disempowerment and traumatisation? I felt some disempowerment from not being able to push bubs out like the other 2 but had it been my first birth, I probably would've been quite happy with it.

I know you have done your essay now but anyway.
DD1
Did you use any drugs in your birth? Yes AB for prolonged SROM. Then after about 36hrs of labour they started the synto then another 13hrs after that they made me have an epidural to do a forceps delivery.
Did you have complications during your birth? Aside from the forceps bub was totally fine the whole time. I sustained a 3rd degree episitomy and a 2000ml PPH.
Did you experience any feelings of dissapointment, disempowerment and traumatisation? Felt like absolute c*#p for weeks from the PPH and they wouldn't give me a blood transfusion which my doctor was horrified about. Because of the birth bubs got jaundice. I couldn't birth in my local hospital because of the synto.

DD2 -
ended up being induced after going 10days over. They tried the gel and it wouldn't work so by the time they broke my waters i was 12 days over. I had synto. I also tried gas which i hated but totally couldn't cope this time so had a morphine shot which relaxed me heaps even though i could still feel it all. I was in the same delivery suite as DD1. Bubs ended up being 10lb7oz and had shoulder dystocia. I sustained a third degree tear. She got TTN - fluid on her lungs from being stuck for so long and ended up in SCN.
Felt empowered but am still dealing with the physical implications of having such a large baby
