Failed labour, complicated cesarean, damage extended to the fallopian tubes
Label - poor maternal effort
It was traumatic, Hemorrhaged, PPD.
No one believed that she can vbac, nor allowed her the opportunity to TOLAC. They all said, it was dangerous to VBAC. Mandatory repeat cesarean they said. She so desperately wanted to avoid that trauma, she so wanted someone to believe in her.
But today, she proved that she is capable of giving birth. Today was victory for her, when she pushed aside the fear mongering and took a leap of faith in getting herself educated about birth, not the way she learnt it during med school, not with machines and cervical checks, not with pushing just because you are 10cm. But the way nature intended for things, the way her body works for the outcome, and how to support her body instead of going against that flow. She isn't broken. Her VBAC was a healthy experience, was safer than her cesarean.
But the indoctrinated system we live in is broken
It will only change when women start taking charge of their body, and open their hearts to the intuitive knowledge that their body is made for birth.
P.S, I guess November births wasn't done 😛
