I was the same as you, 10cm spent 3 hours pushing… then emergency c-section
And after over 40 hours of labour I welcomed it, I never fought the doctors on their advice all I wanted was my baby safe. I didn’t even care about myself
Agreed! I was only 15 hours and exhausted - I can’t imagine 40!!
I wanted an artificial pain relief free birth just because I don’t respond well to Panadol so wasn’t sure how I’d respond to the labour drugs but didn’t fight them at all when they suggested gas to help me count through contractions at 7cm’s, or when they realised the Caesarian was the only safe way for my baby to come.
