Hi ladies,
It's very early days but due to my history am thinking of going private..... Please can anyone help recommend a private consultant in London or South East who specialises in high risk C-sections? I'm pregnant with DC3 and very nervous due to a very complicated obstetric history ('lost' DS1 at 22 weeks due to bilateral renal agenesis and had 1.7 Litre PPH, had crash C-section with DD1 and had 3.5 litre PPH).
I was told in my debrief that I need a C-section in future pregnancies as I had a 'J-cut' with DD1 and the risk of uterine rupture for vaginal delivery too high. That coupled with my propensity to bleed (was referred to top haematologist at St Thomas but nothing showed up) is making me nervous.
Am thinking of breaking the bank in order to put myself in the care of a specialist consultant. The NHS have been fab but my consultant who dealt with my previous pregnancies is now on long term sick leave. I'm putting a Plan B in place in case the new consultant I am referred to doesn't inspire me with confidence.
Thanks for reading this far......
