My DD is now just over 5 weeks old and I have a question about the birth that I cannot get out of my head. I was wondering if someone would be able to help.
All in all I had a 10hr labour which started nicely with 5cm dilated and I floated about in the pool with strong contractions for two hours. After this I was no further dilated and so moved to the more medical part of the ward.
Things escalated quickly and DD's oxygen levels dropped and she became distressed. She then did a giant poo and so I had an emergency c section. All managed very well and I don't feel upset or traumatised about any of the actions taken.
Have healed well and getting to know DD but there is something in my notes I don't understand and can't get to the bottom of without a formal appt which I don't really want to have to do.
The notes say that DD was "prevented" from breathing in meconium and I'd really like to know how this was done - I have pictures in my head and ideas which I find disturbing but don't know what they would have done. Can anyone help please
