Hi,
Am booked in for a planned CS for DS2 this Friday and am having a hard time figuring out which way to go.
DS1 birth was a failed induction where anaesthetist tried to site epidural FOUR times without success. Was in agony for hours and ended in GA. Very traumatised by the whole experience and also by not having my perfect "natural" birth.
This time I'm actually quite happy to be having a planned CS, so no issue there as such.
I have a consultation with the anaesthetist on Thurs pm where I think I'll be offered the option of spinal or general. I am pretty terrified of the spinal option after having had such a terrible experience last time.
My nerves are saying to take the GA, but am wondering if I'll end up regretting missing out on the birth for the second (and last) time?
Would love any POVs from either side! Thank you!
