What does this actually mean? I know you are mainly seen by mw but does a consultant deliver you?
I really want to go consultant led on the NHS with dc3 (all being well), but not sure if I will be allowed?
Briefly, I went private for DC1 and 2. I was mw led with DC1 but that ended in a failed venutouse delivery and forceps (with a half working epidural). DC2 was forceps. Both DC had a few issues at birth (1st was blue, 2nd was grunting to the point all the mw's were concerned and we had a few extra days in hospital before they let us go home). Both very traumatic births.
I am not interested in "mw led" care which includes no intervention. I want an epidural. I have had 2 big baby's and I need one (regardless of what other women say about bigger baby's being easier--not in my case).
What do you think my chances are of getting consultant led care on the NHS?
