First time mum left for 46 hours fully contacting at 3cm dilated and pushing. I think the midwife talked down to me because I am young, and they thought I was overreacting. When they realised they were wrong they were encouraging me to push at 3cm dilated got rushed for a emergency section for my son to be taken away for not breathing. Sent home the next day and the day after was back in hospital I had turned septic and had a infection in and around my wound. Infection lasted 3 months.
