I will be having a section as my pelvic floor is trashed following a very serious 4th degree tear during the birth of my son (now 9 months old), and I have a colostomy bag as the damage is so bad.
My bum doctor (!) has told me I need to have a section and an early one to ensure I don't go in to labour as even a few hours of labour could potentially wreck any chance I have of ditching the wretched colostomy bag by doing further damage to my pelvic floor. My gynae consultant is in full agreement.
Just wondering when they will likely do it (should have asked, forgot, doh...pregnancy brain). I guess at 37 weeks?
Questions questions!
I am 8 weeks pregnant with a big surprise of a baby.
