I'm just coming up for 10 weeks into my 2nd pregnancy and as my sickness starts to subside I'm tentatively thinking about the fact I'm actually going to be having another baby!
My first was an ELCS because he was stubbornly breech (breech since 25 weeks and failed ECV - v painful, wouldn't recommend btw)
As a first time Mum I had planned lovely calm relaxed water birth in the MLU blah blah and of course all of that went out of the window with the ELCS, but I got over it, the ELCS was actually pretty chilled and lovely and I of course never really think about my DS's method of entering the world.
This time around I of course would love to experience a VB not least because I have a toddler to look after this time as well and can't spend two weeks in bed recovering from a CS but I just don't know what to expect? I do know that as I've had a previous CS I will be classed as "high risk" and I don't expect I'll be allowed to use the MLU. I also know that I can't be induced so if baby is very overdue then it'll probably be another CS.
I guess I'm just looking for experiences of others for interest really. How did it for for you?
