I'll try to be brief. I had a difficult vb with ds and am very nervous about 2nd. I'm 20 weeks and booked to see consultant at hospital on Tuesday to discuss creating a very structured birth plan.
Honestly, I'd like an open discussion about what is best for me (at the moment it's looking like guaranteed epidural on arrival at hospital or elcs). Is it very naive of me to think the consultant will discuss this without biased/ trying to push me in a certain direction due to their own views? If I just go in there for an honest discussion, will I be eaten alive or is it a realistic expectation?
I've read lots of threads on here re: elcs and fighting your corner but I'm not 100% sure I want to do this as not 100% sure it's the right path for me. That said, I want to be able to discuss all options and their pros/ cons.
Does anybody else have any experience of this?
