Details of experience
Unfortunately at 36 weeks my baby was found to be breech, I was advised that I wouldn’t be able to deliver vaginally and would need a c-section. I pushed back on this and spoke to a doctor who advised me that it I didn’t go with the c-section that I was basically going to kill my baby during birth. I was advised that no one was trained in breech birth delivery. I was made to feel like I was a bad mother if I chose anything other than a C-section. Ultimately because I felt unsupported in my preferences despite having a completely low risk pregnancy, to go ahead with what they suggested. I was so angry and had to process alot of grief over what I felt like I missed out on. I will going for a VBAC with my next regardless and will get a better support team if required.
