Right, will try not to make this too long.
I had a c section with my dd almost 13 years ago. I had an extreme fear of natural birth which wasn't helped by some appaling and humiliating treatment in my pregnancy. After I broke down and had a panic attack during an examination at 31 weeks, I was finally seen by a consultant who agreed to a section, which was wonderful, no probs.
I have had such a fear that I have waited all these years to try again. Panic that has gripped me in the night for years. Am now 11 weeks.
I have hired a private midwife, have seen her once, she know my fears, has said she'd help me re a repeat section but at the moment she's proving to be as useless as a chocolate teapot really, already thinking that i've chucked 3k down the drain, but I can't be at the mercy of a hospital midwife team again.
She is now saying that the 3 hospitals she contacted will push me for a VBAC and will probably not agree to a second section on my request.
I am thinking of terminating this pregnancy, I cannot have a natrual birth, I don't know what to do.
