Cutting a long story short...
DS was born at term + 16 after full induction (pessaries, drips etc) got to 10cm, pushing etc, oxygen levels dropped, finally born emcs.
DC2 due in early dec and I had a meeting with VBAC consultant yesterday.
Firstly.... I was under the impression that I would not be induced again due to rupture but consultant said that i could have the drip... I said no and she said 'keep an open mind' . They can't make me can they?
Secondly... During my last labour, DS was back to back (and add in induction) I was in agony but they wouldn't let me off the bed, or off my back, not even to go for a wee (DH was given a bed pan when he insisted that I wanted to go to the toilet ) so I told consultant yesterday that I was determined to be mobile, she said I would need to be wired up for monitors of baby but that I would still be able to be up and move around (very different from last time) So has any one been monitored etc but still been alowed to move about? I'm a bit worried she said this just to get me to agree to VBAC and get me out the door.
