I am 15 weeks with my 2nd pregnancy (3rd child, as had twins first time round). I had an emergency c sec last time, and was hoping for a water birth this time round. I felt like i really missed out on a very important part of my children's lives before, as I was out cold with a general anasthetic for their first few hours on this earth! even once I came too, I was drugged up and woozy so never had that special 'first moment' when they were delivered, wasn't able to cuddle them for the first few hours and so on. I've just come back from seeing the consultant, who said that a water birth is not possible this time as they have to moniter the baby closely during labour to try and prevent the scar rupturing. I am gutted. does anyone know if it is possible to have a water birth after a previous c sec? If I am on to a loser, I'll give up, but if it is possible, I am prepared to fight my corner for the birth I want. Any advice appreciated. Thanks!
