I was rushed into theatre during DD's birth last year as she was face presentation and completely stuck. They thought I'd have to have an emergency c-section, so they attempted to give me a spinal. After 16 attempts they still couldn't get it in the right place, resulting in me having a spinal leak. Contractions are NOTHING compared to the agony of a spinal leak (for me anyway).
Number 2 is due in May and I'm going for a home birth and very adament that no-one is going to do anything to my back, but there is still always that risk that I could end up in theatre again.
Anyone had a 'normal' delivery after a spinal leak without the prob reoccuring? Any advice would be gratefully received as I'm quite worried by the prospect.
