Hi im a mam of 3 pregnant with no 4
Im currently 25 weeks pregnant
my first 2 children i had a normal natural delivery 3rd emegy section which was now 5years ago This emerg c-section was to me a horrable terrifiying experience which i have never fully gotten over
Now just 2days a go i went to see the consultant which i thought was just a routine visit
Turns out she wanted to discuss the birth of no 4
She made me aware during my emergancy section i had tore, quite a large tear right down and a second surgen had been brought in to help repair this ( bare in mind i was never told this ) i have only just been told 5 years later and 25 weeks in to my pregnancy
Now she explained that the surgen had left a note at the time stating i would be good to go ahead with a VBAC or a second c/section in the future
giving me both options
The consultant is disagreeing with this and insisting on a planned section at 39 weeks (but is going to go and speak with that surgen and give me her opinion in around 6weeks
Now i understand the risks from both options but im absolutly petrified of another secion
im worring about the whole surgery aswell as the recovery
i dont want to let my kids down by not being able to care fully for them while recovering ect so much going through my head
Anyone been through anything simular and have any advice tips
willing to share your experience good/bad
