I have a meeting today and I think I will request a ELCS.
The reason being I have prolapse issues (rectocele) since DC1 and this baby is lying back to back so the odds of an assisted delivery being necessary are higher. Even if baby wasn't b2b I am very scared of the labour because I coped so badly last time. G&A made me hallucinate and I was in the horrors for hours.
But I really fear making my prolapse issues worse and unliveable. I've been told I'll need surgery but I would like to wait until menopause before going down that road. At the moment my rectocele is manageable. I dread the possibility of incontinence. With my first child my biggest fear was having a c-section. This time it feels like it may be my best option.
Baby is b2b and extremely low down with the placenta at the front. I am currently 34+5.
I'm wondering if anyone regrets their decision to have an elcs and why.
