Eamon's birth story Part 3 An hour passed and I a

Eamon's birth story Part 3

An hour passed and I agreed to the oxytocin... I kept trying to push but again nothing budged. This was now about 26 hours since I first went into labour and I was tired and didn't feel like I could do it anymore. So the obstetrician came in and asked me if he could turn my baby around anteriorly, and then use the vacuum. I said yes - knowing that it wasn't the ideal situation, but also knowing that any "trauma" that resulted in my baby's birth could be looked at when he was safe in the world (e..g by craniosacral therapy or other alternative modality).

To facilitate the vacuum birth, I had to get an episiotomy (again to which I consented because hey my baby was stuck in my pelvis for 3 hours) and after a lot of pushes, he came out and went right onto my chest.

So as you can see, I didn't get the physiological birth I wanted, although I tried really hard. Do I feel like a terrible person for getting pain relief and then agreeing to medical intervention? No. It was what it was.. and whilst at this point in time I don't necessarily understand why it panned out the way it did, I know for sure that it was meant to be that way. Whether it was like that as part of my own learning (i.e. do not try to control the uncontrollable), or whether it was setting it up for patterns and issues for my son to work through in his life, who knows. I suspect that it is a bit of both, but hey, we signed up for it, so just go with it!

So from my story I hope that none of you mamas to be (whether it's your first or second or third, etc) feel guilty for the birth process not turning out the way that you wanted. Of course I believe that being informed all the way through it (as I was for 99% of the time, apart from the non-consensual stretch and sweep) and making a decision based on that is very important. The decisions I made during the process were for me and my baby's health and I don't regret it at all. And neither should you - no matter how your birth turns out.

Don't let the beliefs and stances of other people sway you from doing what is right for you - and it will ALWAYS be right the way you do it, so trust that.

Eamon's birth story Part 1⁠
⁠
Having now navigated a bit over 2 months of post-partum, I feel like I'm ready to share Eamon's birth story with you all!⁠
⁠
But before I do that, I just wanted to mention that no matter HOW you end up birthing your baby, the way you do it was MEANT TO BE so don't feel guilty if things didn't turn out the way that you wanted it to.⁠
⁠
I may be a bit controversial in saying this, but this is my opinion which you can disagree with. There are many people out there who really advocate for physiological births, which is the most natural way to do it. A physiological birth is where you give birth to your baby with no medical intervention whatsoever from start to finish. There are statistics that purport to show that those who give birth in hospitals have a greater chance of a medical intervention and similarly that the experience of women who give birth in that context tend to have a much more "traumatic" birth than those who give birth outside of that context. ⁠
⁠
To me, that places a LOT of pressure on a woman to do a physiological birth, and when it doesn't happen, the woman can feel like there's something wrong with her. From my experience, what I will say is that everything happens for a reason, so don't try to bow into pressure from others (even those who you perceive as expert) when it comes to doing things a certain way (or not).⁠
⁠
So here is my experience:⁠
⁠
I wanted a physiological birth. I am a believer (and still do believe this) that the body is amazing and has everything that it needs. So I believe that the body can give birth easily and ecstatically. That is what I wanted, but it didn't turn out like that.⁠
⁠
I had a 27 hour labour. As it was my first birth and I had nfi what was happening, I went into hospital earlier. I gave permission for the midwife to check my dilation - 2 cm, but she also did a stretch and sweep which I did not consent to... but that's another story.⁠
⁠
To be continued next post.⁠
