Not very far into my 6th pregnancy but I'm already thinking about birth options.
I think I want a c section this time.
I've had 5 vaginal deliveries, the last one was 9 months ago. That labour failed to progress and I had to have the drip. The baby was well over 10lb in weight too.
Out of the 5 births there's only been one where I left hospital with my perineum intact! I've had 3 episiotomies and a tear.
After my last one, I had no sensation whatsoever and even though I've luckily, not ended up with any incontinence, it took a while to get the feeling back. Now, I suffer with the dreaded 'fanny daggers' every single time I need to poo. It can stop me in my tracks it's that painful.
Also, given its my 6th, dh and I have been discussing permanent contraception. I want to be sterilised.
Do you think I'll be able to have a c section because of everything I've explained upthread but also will they sterilise me during the c section?
