I had a natural birth last year and I didnt dilate more than 1 cm. So I just had to push him out and rip. Yes I ripped and lost blood galore.... I checked myself in as I was feeling a pushing naturally like baby was going to come every few minutes. The staff were not willing to let me in as I didnt fit the guidelines of dilation. But when they saw me crying as I was so uncomfortable they had to let me in. That night they had a bed and I begged for help and I was told I had nothing to worry about and was put in a room alone in distress and my partner sent home. I told them to drug me because I could handle this pain. So I fell asleep in a searingly hot room and the next day I got into the birthing suite and after many hours gave birth and didnt dilate still and the staff were saying wait you will and I said i have an urge to push its not a choice as anyone in labour knows you feel pressure pull down. I tore badly. It was so uncomfortable honestly more.mentally than pyshically I couldnt scream it was sore and just horrible. I lost a lot of blood and was to have a blood transfusion but I couldnt take more time in hospital. They stiched me well. Very well its unnoticeable but mentally I still harbour that uncomfortability I couldnt get through a smear without nearly fainting. I now think perhaps I shpuld have a C Section but Im scared. What happens. Is the scsr to high. I also wont have help at gome except my boyfroends fornight paternity leave. Shpuld I go au naturale and lets face it Im unlikely to dilate or just be brave and have a ECS. Help????
