Hi all, I have an appointment with a consultant in Monday to see if I can have a cs.
When I have birth to my son 2 years ago (natural delivery) I lost a lot of blood and had to have 2 blood transfusions I really do not want that to happen again. The thing is I don't actually know exactly why that happened. Midwife said maybe it was because I had a very long labour (56hrs) and my uterus could have been tired and not contracting properly after.
Also I had an epidural and had a 2nd degree tear. I nearly had to have forceps but managed to get him out in the next push. I really hate the idea or having forceps delivery(which I know you have a higher chance if have an epidural) as I do not want to be any more damaged down there than I already am. I had to stay in hospital for 3 nights and I took months to recover down below. And I still feel sore where I tore.
My friend who had a cs the day after I gave birth left hospital a day earlier than me and she seemed to recover a lot fast than me.
I'm not sure what my chances are of having a cs this time but have my appointment Monday and would really appreciate some help and advice in what to say to the consultant.
Thank you in advance
