Hi All
I went to Guys and St Thomass yesterday and I'm a bit traumatised as the MW said 'You've come to the wrong place' when I mentioned that I would really like a maternal request C-section
I have a psychological reason for this incl Tokophobia and some other reason (from my past) which I find hard to mention (I don't really even want to discuss it with a psychologist).
I am a totally together person in life, I just have a very establish fear of Vaginal delivery which I will never get over.
I was quite relived about the NICe guidelines and this was one of the reasons that I finally decided to have a baby (at 34 after 14 years with my partner). I am calm about the pregnancy and enjoying it. So this issue from Guys and st Thomass is a kick in the teeth.
My question is - does anyone know if UCLH will be more open to Maternal Request C Section?
My idea is to go there as well (double appointments) and to have two shots at getting an ELCS.
Stick with Thomass? Or go to Both?? What shall I do???
(I can't afford private)
