Can anyone help / offer me any advice re the following:
I'm 32 weeks pregnant with my first child and am very confused by what the consultant / GP / midwife is (or rather isn't) telling me.
I'm told by the maternal medicine consultant a c-section "may be advisable" for me on the following grounds:
I had a brain haermorrhage 3.5 years ago (I was in the same hospital as I'm having the baby in for 5 months in 2003. All notes were lost by them in a fire but they referred me back to my neurologist who thought I'd be OK (despite domant clot behind my left eye still) providing I didn't have a migraine on the day I went in to labour).
Migraines during pregnancy of between 2 and 3 days each up to three times a week.
I fractured my pelvis about 20 years ago and I'm now having a lot of pain (the Dr said not an issue as it was fractured not broken but the pain is getting worse each day)
Strong history of breach (maternal line, 4 generations, 16 babies all breach)
Low lying placenta (scan due in week 34).
Has anyone had all or any of the above issues? what happened?
Should I say I think a c-section is better for me because of all my problems or leave it to them to decide - when would they normally decide?
I'm stressing about this to point of not sleeping which can't be good!!!
