Oh sweets we are all coming out of the woodwork... Sad really though isn't it how many of us feel so confident in the "system" and get let down. My midwives were the same - we went through 3 shifts of them during my labour and all of them were lovely but pretty useless. They were there to monitor the oxytocin, bubs heartrate and write notes about it all but not much else.
Now this time around - I have the gorgeous Kelly supporting me and I know that this birth will be far different. Having said that though - it doesn't take away all the feelings you have about your first birth and it is great that you can vent here hun, share and grieve - it is a long process but you are well supported by many of us who have been there and still going through that process too.
