Making decisions about birth after caesarean

Subject index

Had planned CS one week pat her due date when it was found that baby had stopped moving. Mother experienced rupture and needed a blood transfusion. Wanted a water birth with 2nd child but advised to have planned CS due to previous complications.

Pregnancy & children >> Making decisions about birth after caesarean >> Aged 31-35 >> Interview 11 >> Her antenatal classes did not cover caesarean in detail. At the time she didn't want to ask questions, but with hindsight, more information on reasons

Rushed to have CS after baby passed meconium and stopped moving. Had quick recovery. Keen to experience vaginal birth with 2nd child, laboured for 66 hours. Some complications afterwards but glad to have experienced giving birth both ways.
