DS1 3 hour 2nd stage with ventouse and then shoulder dystocia. He was 7lb 14oz.
Ds2 I developed poyhydramnios plus big baby on scan. Consultant said I needed CS as previous SD and 1/100 risk dead baby. He was 9lb 5oz.
Anyway I would love another baby but HATED the cs experience and am scared that as nothing has changed would definately have to have another. This is to the point that it would put me off another baby.
Is there evidence that you do need cs after a previous SD? I know studies show no reason to do cs to avoid one but this does not seem to qualify if things are different if you have had one before (IYSWIM!. Any mumsnetters personal experience of this?
Thanks.
