We were all so happy at work this morning. Woman having third baby and at term. First CS for breech, second SVB. OB in tertiary hospital telling her that she should not be seeing midwives "They can't fix up the ruptured uterus can they?"
She an intelligent professional but very unsure, pulled both ways. Booked in for ARM and probable CS later for the next day (today). Heaps of talking with her midwife who ended up telling her that we would not be telling her about stuff that we did not think was safe as we also have our reputation to think of. Strip and stretch offered and accepted.
Later in the day, rapid labour (how sad, too fast to get to the tertiary hospital an hours drive away) and an SVB in all fours on the floor. Today walking on air.
Would love to have seen his face when he got told what had happened.
Cheers
