Hi everyone. After some guidance/advice.
My first delivery was horrendous - epidural , failed ventoose and long struggle with forceps and a lathe episiotomy and my dd1 was born with a lot of crying and I think she had a lot of headaches. In putting my legs in the position needed for the birth I ended up with serious post natal spd. Recovery from stitches and also spd was weeks and weeks, also ended up with anal fissures.... just all really unpleasant.
Second delivery no pain relief other than paracetamol and tens machine. Delivery text book, natural tear that was stitched again no pain relief. recovery immediate. Happy baby.
So I'm not pregnant with no3. And I'm anxious as hell. I won't make the same mistakes as birth 1 but I also know there is no way I can get another like birth no2. And I am a full 8 years older.
I am having thoughts of a c section wwyd?
