I was in very good hands with the mid wife - Sharon who diagnosed me from when I got to Bluebell. She was very patient and caring with me, I felt very safe and reassured. She gave me plenty of dignity and can see what was the best route was for me to have this baby. I had a natural birth with no drugs. I was performed a episiotomy by her and felt very reassured it was going to help deliver my baby. She also monitored the heart rate of my baby well and could see I was pushing hard but baby was starting to give up. She mentioned to have an assisted vaginal delivery using the kiwi. Although it was so painful when inserted in, it was also the best thing that happened to help deliver my baby safely and quickly as his heart rate started to drop. Doctor Urie was there to assist the birth. Both him and Sharon did such a great job, and safely helped me deliver my 8.1IBS baby. I was also offered to keep the placenta if wished to (declined) which is I thought was very respectful. Doctor Urie did a fantastic stitch up and 12 weeks later, I healed very well. 10 months on, I am feeling super healthy and actively fit.

I wasn’t offered any drugs during my birth as I dilated 12cm by the time I got there. But I did wonder whether I should have been offered gas and air which was something I wasn’t offered back then.
