Evening All, I am after some advice.
I've just found out I'm pregnant with DC3-fab!! Already my mind is turning to childbirth (all being well as I am only 6weeks).
DC1 was a straightforward normal delivery 12 days late,within 24 hours. No dramas.
DC2 was 14 days late, went into spontaneous labour for 3 days, contractions came and went and never really got going, about 15 mins together at 8cm dilated. So put on drip to 10cm.Then after pushing for 3 hours they decide to take me to theatre for forceps delivery and realise DC was brow presentation and his heart trace was plummeting so do EMCS.
This time I would be keen for a VBAC. What I don't want is a repeat of DC2 birth. If a magic fairy told me it would be the same I'd book a section. But I found it incredibly difficult to recover from so I really don't want another one. So what I am wondering is: can they check for brow presentation in the weeks leading up? Could baby still tuck its chin down to present correctly? Would it be worth having a private presentation scan?
Sorry for going on. All advice gratefully received. Thank you
