I rarely talk of my third birth, it was completly horendeous.

He is now 8, and it still upsets me no end.....

I had a 2.5 hr labour that was sheer torture. When I got to hossy they broke my waters, and they were black and green. So they put me up on the bed, and said to get him out NOW. The pushing was excrutiating, and after 2 drug free births, I was screaming for an epidural, and was literally pulling out chunks of hair with each contraction.... I was terrified and in unbearable pain. The Ob rolled me onto my side, my mum and partner held my leg up, and he went in and PULLED out my sons head. I was SCREAMING. Mason was blue and black and not breathing. The Ob held the back of his neck, and under his chin, and pulled the rest of him out, and with him came my small shruken black placenta. The Ob ran from the room with my son, and a middie came back in about 5 min and said "its alright, we have your son back with us". It took 3 attepts, and finally a full resusitation to get him back. My placenta had obviously already pulled away long before birth.

But we left the next day, with all being perfect. I was simply told he had been posterior. My 2nd was too, and her birth was dream compared to Mason though!!


Skip to 2 days ago, and the middie was filling out my yellow card for Baby Girl. I got home and looked it over, and next to 3rd birth, it says "Shoulder Dyslocia'.

WTF???!!!

Why was I not told, what is it, and did it contribute to the worst experience I have EVER had in my life???
