I had a hideous birth with DS and am now pregnant again, terrified of giving birth.
With DS I started out wanting an all-natural water birth. But he was back to back and after 24h of labour, we ended up with failed ventouse and forceps, as we were both in a bad way.
I still have incontinence issues, I think due to the forceps birth.
Am wondering if I could ask for a ELCS this time - or is a second birth likely to be easier? Is the recovery from a section as bad as going through another forceps birth?
I just don't know what to think, and I'm very scared. All advice welcome.
