emergency section for me, when I was still in recovery, the surgeon came to me and told me thiat next time they won't push me so hard for a vb (after 3 days on the ward was 3cm, then took me to delivery suite broke my waters, he'd poo'd inside me1, spent 13 hours on drip, still 3cm) and they'll take me in for a section before, as i'll never give birth normally. She didn't give me any actual reason why, but i'm ignoring that anyway, and will probably try for a vb again next time.

and actually, when he came out he had the chord round his neck and it was in a true knot, so we were very lucky
