Joy Mama- I think Rhea dempsey is a doula and birth educator who does birth debriefing. google her. She is in Melbourne somewhere. I can't possibly interpret the whole of your case notes, but having only had one layer of suturing is not a positive thing. It is associated with a higher rate of rupture than double layer suturing from what I have read..... sorry honey. I hope you have a positive and empowering birth next time round.
hi ladies, I am thinking I may too be in this forum next week I am 11 days over today. had attempted induction on thursday and friday with foley catheter which never fell out like it was supposed to, had a VE and was 2cm but still a little high up. Dr said he could break the waters but I asked to go home for the weekend and try again at 42 weeks. He was so lovely and said thats fine as it was already 3pm and he said that a c section in the middle of the night if I did not progress would be awful and I agree! so booked in for monday 7am for AROM. been having 30 second contractions on and off since then and a small gush of fluid this morning but thats it. I am starting to give up hope. Is there any suggestions? I just want to feel like I tried EVERYTHING before going under the knife so I have no regrets as this will be our last baby 99% sure if this.
Yup I'm with Bella - MHB, jump in a nice relaxing bath (with clary sage oil if you have it, just bubble bath if you don't), sit back and relax for a while. Get a good night's sleep too.
I agree, try and relax as best you can. Take really good care of yourself, rest and eat well. All will work out... I look forward to reading your happy BA.
