By the time D? appears DS will be 19 months old.
To cut to the details rather than getting into the emotional stuff () he was a bit of a bruiser at 9'11 and 63cm which midwife said was probably wrong but he was very long!
He had his arm behind his head and I had 5 hours of second stage labour, with failed ventouse then forceps and then an hour of repairwork.
Apparently I healed very well and passed all the checks. I do have a prolapse however, as a result of all that pushing.
So... not wanting to go into hospital this time as it was so horrible last time, I was considering a HB but don't know whether this is foolish and whether I'd be better off with an elective c-section (as per the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists recommendation for third degree tears).
I am planning to discuss it with the professionals but wondered if anyone here had been in a similar situation.
