I had an EMCS with dc1 after failure to progress and fetal distress. It was v traumatic and I suffered from PTSD. I was told by a midwife directly afterwards that if I wanted more children I would be allowed an ELCS.
However, after deciding that I'm absolutely certain that an ELCS is the way for me, at my last meeting with a consultant I was told that they'd decided that I won't be booked in for a section. I've been told to appeal if I don't agree with this.
I'm absolutely terrified. I'm already 31 weeks so panicking about time...
I'm writing my appeal letter now, but wondered if anybody had experienced this and successfully appealed and got their ELCS??
I didn't realise they could force you into a vbac?
