second time round and more scared then the 1st time
Hi, i had my beutiful little girl last may, she is adorable and i love her to bits. Unfortuneatly i had the worst experience ever with her labour and birth. Labour was long (6days n 10hrs) hospital kept sending me home coz i wasn't dilating and did nothing to help. They made further mistakes along the way and eventualy gave me an emergency c-section. My baby was seriously ill as a result of me not being treated properly. She nearly died 3 times, had her right lung punctured twice and had ecmo treatment half way across the country. The result ended in her having severe brain damage and cerebral palsey. She is nearly 1yrs old and still cannot do much apart from kick her legs when on her back. She has 7 theropists, 2 consultants and has a standing frame. Life is demanding. I found out wednesday that im pregnant again, much to our suprise. Im too scared to go to the doctors, scared about everything and have no idea where i should have this next baby. Having a disabled child has alienated me from friends so dont have anyone to turn to. Anybody got any advice? Im a mum, pregnant and scared.xxx

They are run by midwifes, no doctors which means you can't have an epidural. They usually have birthing pools and the risk of needing a section is usually alot lower if you have your baby in a birth centre because its alot more relaxed.
Your little girl is gorgeous by the way ) xxx
