Hello there, this is my first time posting here :) I just have a question about something that's bothering me! I've just had my first baby 7 weeks ago and I found the labour really horrendous. I had to get induced after being 13 days overdue, had a 14hr labour with forceps delivery and a 2nd degree cut. I only had pain relief for the first 4 hours and had the rest with just gas and air. I know that might not be as bad as some other people but I just found the whole thing quite upsetting and disturbing.
I wanted to know if I became pregnant again could I explain all this to my midwife etc and say that I'd really want to have a planned C section rather than go through the induction process? I am 34 just now so I am secretly hoping that my age would also swing in my favour! It's just that I'm so nervous about having to go through induction again it's actually making me not want to have any more children. Thanks very much for your help.
