Default Did i really need an emergency c/section?
Im not happy with the way my daughter was brought into this world, but i feel like the way to get over it is to try and get some of my questions answered.

Long story short - I went in for app 9 days before my EDD. Blood pressure 170/120 (pre eclampsia). Labour induced, 3 lots of gels and my waters broke on their own. No drip needed as went from 0-7 cm in 3 hours. Mias heartrate kept dropped... down to 80 then up tp 180, dropping at every contraction. Emergency c/sec was done. I was told that she was trying to come out ear first. (i believe this aided in her bad head tilt which has only just corrected itself).

Questions being -

why did they induce? isnt there something to help bring blood pressure down?
Why didnt they do more investigating before they rushed me off? couldnt they have tried to turn her or use a vacuum or something?
