Hi, so first of all a little bit of background. In May I got pregnant but it turned out to be a scar ectopic pregnancy which is very rare and I sadly had a miscarriage at 9 weeks. It took 2 ops and a lot of heartache and recovery to put it right and I was told yesterday by my consultant that our next baby will definitely have to be a planned section because of the site of the scar being very thin and it’s risky for me to have a natural labour basically.
The thing is when I had my son 18 months ago, it was a very traumatic 30 hour induced labour resulting in an emergency section. I was traumatised and I felt robbed of the birth I wanted and I feel it contributed in a big way to my PND. Also when the section was performed they left a big mess and my womb was stuck to the inside of my tummy, only discovered after my recent operation to get rid of retained tissue.
I am absolutely terrified of getting pregnant again (we’ve been told we can try again in 8 weeks) because of the birth side of things. So I just wondered if anybody would like to share their experiences of planned sections to hopefully put my mind at rest.
