Details of experience
Third pregnancy, two miscarriages previously. From the beginning labelled high risk (diabetic and of weight). No informed consent, no given options, blindly followed as felt like I had no choice. Wanted unmediated birth. Induced at 38 weeks, after 48 hours it ended in an emergency caesarean under general. Fail to progress past 4cm. Didn’t see my son for 5 hours, hard recovery. Husband kicked out of hospital only a few hours after baby born. Overdosed on pain med. discharged myself early.
