Dc1 was back to back, waters broke early followed by 26 hours of contractions to get to 5cms, then drip, epidural, episiotomy & ventouse-- usual cascade of intervention.
DC2 due any day, also back to back. Am intending to stay mobile as long as poss, and listen to my body more -having done it once I'm presuming it will be more efficient this time round! Also hoping its more likely to turn during labour. But if my waters break early & I'm slow to dilate again, I know I've only got limited time before I'm put on the drip, and then the intervention all over again.... Maybe?
If you've had similar first time round was it the same second time??
