The consultant MW was quite mad really, I was supposed to meeting with her to discuss an early epidural, instead we spent over an hour going round in circles with her trying to get me into birth pool. MLU...etc....
She did keep saying " technically looking at your last birth i would say this would be three hours and no complications etc"
I know technically there is good precedence - she wasnt looking at me - or perhaps she mentally wasnt able to look at me holistically!
I was there because of other traumas last time, including too much pain and now i know back to back!
I asked her to write early epidural in my notes - but she didnt seem bothered about writing in my hand held notes so I will be interestred to see what she wrote in my hospital notes when I meet consultant again on Thursday.
The mw and consultant both said there is little they can do if i go into labour before my due date - there was abstoluty no reassurance at all because of course,
if i am going to be three hours in labour - and there is a queue etc...how could they fit me in?
the only slightly reassuring thing from MW was that I can come in and wait in new waiting room area - if i do go into labour etc...but not moving quickly.
that is what i would plan to do at the sign of anything....and hope they do a section should they be able to fit me in.
The reason I am asking this is because of that one poster horror story of where it was all aggreed and she was forced on the day to go through with it - beyond disgusting.
