thank you Rosemary for sharing what must have been
a wonderful experience for all involved. I apologise for ranting and
raving, but 'it' has finally driven me after three years, to such a point as my
health being affected. I had the migraine from hell which had me begging
my hubby to take me to hospital! I am so angered by the way in which care
is manipulated by a few in positions in power. I am angered that in SA
'they' are using the tragic event of a uterine rupture in a vbac (labour
augmented -without dilation check first! and epidural and yet no continuous
monitoring until too late! ) to ban vbac in birth centres...so more
women can be submitted to epidurals, inductions, augmentation, continuous
monitoring!!! Perhaps if this woman was in a birth centre, she would not
have been subjected to such poor and disgraceful care!
But knowing that birth is still happening in a
caring, loving and trusting environment makes the pain in my head (and heart) a
little easier. Thanks for sharing....
