Hi Blondie.

I had an induced labour first time, was at 3cms at the beginning and after 8hrs was still at 3cms. My body wasn't dialating and DS1 was in distress so I had an emergency c-section. With DS2 I had planned to attempt a VBAC. I considered my options for a while and after reflecting on my last labour and talking to another midwife, I decided that the risks of me ending up with a similar experience, coupled with the fact that my mother also never dialated fully with her labours I decided to have another c-section. My body responded really well to the second ceasar and it was a lovely experience which included me breastfeeding DS2 as I was wheeled through the halls of the hospital back to my room.

I made my decision based on my own research and information. This was MY birth and no-body else had any right to comment on it.
