Traumatic first labour
Anybody had a traumatic first labour and thinking about opting for a section with your second ?
I was induced at 42+1.
Epidural failed twice
They tried to use forceps to pull the baby out with no pain relief so I could feel everything . I obviously screamed the hospital down.
The ended up taking me to theatre for a spinal - resulting me having a Episiotomy ( cut hole to hole ) and again baby being pulled out. She was very badly bruised and my recovery from that was also horrific. I don’t expect any labour to be easy or pain free but nearly 3 years on I’m still absolutely terrified and unsure on if I can do it again.
This will be my last pregnancy and I really want a smoother experience but unsure on if I should ask for a planned c section or have a better plan in place. :(
