I am due to have a VBAC in two weeks and don't want to have continuous monitoring or a cannula in my hand, both of which are standard on admission to my local hospital.
DH is convinced I am going to die because the minute they save putting the cannula in at the start is the minute that will save me should anything go wrong.
He also can't see how continuous monitoring can be anything but good, despite me explaining how active birth methods are preferable to lying on a bed.
Has anyone seen any compelling research I could show him that might make him see the reality? At the moment he is saying he won't be coming in the room at the hospital because he disagrees with my actions and we will argue.
