Did you use any drugs in your birth? Yes....was a full induction, with Gels, Synto drip and then on to use epidural
Did you have complications during your birth? Not really IMO....DS was facing the wrong way, but I managed to turn him, and birth him (even though they said I had a d!cki pelvis) with his hand up against his head. Had stitches.
Did you experience any feelings of dissapointment, disempowerment and traumatisation? Nope not once. I was 9 days overdue so all I wanted to do was see my baby, and I was going to do it if it was the last thing I did!

Did you have complications during your birth? Nope. I 'supposedly' had Gestational Diabetes but I didn't see that as a complication in my pregnancy at all.

Hey Ella, Not sure if you still need this but thought I put in my 2c worth
Did you use any drugs in your birth? Nope Did you have complications during your birth? After pushing for hour they did internal and found baby head was sideways. They vaccumed him out and he was in fetal distress for 2min Did you experience any feelings of dissapointment, disempowerment and traumatisation? I found the need to push drugs on you was terrible. From the moment I arrived they wanted to give me sinto. Not happening. They did however get me with anti-biotics as DS was 'early' (35 + 4 but even the OB delivering said this wasnt right) within the last hour they wanted to give me an epi to do the vaccum and even said that they were preparing theatre incase he didnt come out with that. My disappointment was that i wasnt allowed off the dang bed. Its all i wanted to do was get in the shower but NO they kept wanting to monitor me even though we told them the dips were from me moving. The midwife I had was HORRIBLE. I didnt like her at all and if it wasnt for my gorgeous student midwife SARA I prob would ave given in and took it all. From having a room with 4 people in it to I think nearly 12 was over whelming especially when I wasnt told how they were or why there were there.
I think next time i will spend the money and go PRIVATE and see what difference that makes seeing the same person all the time.
