Hello mums,
I'm in a panic since morning. I lost my first baby due to negligence by the lead consultant in induced labour. I had gestation diabetes then which reoccured now in the second pregnancy. My hospital wanted me to go for a CS even before I planned this pregnancy. Now they are throwing numbers at me to scare me into choosing CS. Baby growth was fine until 37 weeks. I chose home birth this time due to a traumatic experience in the first pregnancy. They wanted me to choose a hospital birth, preferably CS - giving the incident in my first labour as a reason. I told them my decision will be solely on what's happening in the current pregnancy. In the next immediate scan at 39 weeks, they said the baby is not growing. I wanted a second opinion. The doctor scans and verbally tells me that he agrees with the first doctor but won't give me actual scan reports with the measurements. All this makes me think they just want to push me into choosing a CS. I was expecting some support from my homebirth midwife, but she is more than happy to pawn me off to the hospital team. I feel like we have no support whatsoever. Our families are not with us and we feel completely alone and depressed with the turn of events and lack of support. What do we do? Can someone please guide us.
