[quote=Anonymous]I had a vaginal birth at 41w5d. Even that wasn't "natural" labor, it was premature rupture and oxytocin. He came out with an apgar score of 3, I dont know if that was the oxytocin or the aging placenta or both.

Tried an induction 39wk 5d and that turned into a C section

If the induction fails the C section is more risky
They can send you to frequent BPP clinics but that doesnt predict the baby will tolerate labor

Sorry, OP, super grey area of medicine. If you dont want to be medicalized, err on the side of spontaneous labor. If you want to err on the side of avoiding obstetric drama, do the induction or even a scheduled C if this is your last baby

My midwife screwed me over. I was starting to max out on the oxytocin and she broke my water. I hemorrhaged during the C because I was left on an oxytocin drip full blast. She could have turned off the oxytocin before breaking my water and we could have called the whole thing off. This is something to discuss way before the hospital. If they give you crap or act like you are a princess, get the h3ll out of their practice as fast as you can.

I've had ongoing problems with my two C-sections but they pale in comparison to brain damaged or dead babies, so there's that. [/quote]
