For background, & so not to drip feed, am expecting DC3 & have been booked for induction this Friday for medical reasons. I was induced with DC1 as was overdue & the experience was horrendous, long, exhausting, left me needing over 6 months of physio for my pelvis & a very bruised, jaundiced baby who I physically struggled to care for because of my lack of mobility & physical capability after. By comparison DC2 was a spontaneous labour that I had no pain relief for & if given the choice I would choose that every single time.
I have made my feelings on induction clear, my fears & concerns, along with the fact that we have a very minimal support network around us to help with other DC during or after the birth (not their problem I know, but does affect how I feel about it all). I know the Doctors have jobs to do, & are giving their advice based on medical opinion but I can't help but feel like I'm being bullied in to this - we ended up with the junior doctor getting a more senior doctor in (junior doctor was out her depth with questions I was asking) who proceeded to give her opinion (felt a bit bollocked to be honest).
Someone please tell me this is going to be ok?
