Hello,
Still TTC atm but what is really making me nervous about being pregnant with #2 is actually childbirth.
1st time I had PROM at 36 + 5. I had a rather horrid experience at hospital and would like to have a home birth instead. Due to PROM I was kept in hospital and going through my first stages of labour on an open ward with people waiting for C sections. One MW gave me an non censenual sweep (told me she was just seeing how dilated I was!!) Ended up being put on an oxytocin drip and strapped down to the bed. Another MW then cut me inside as she was trying to break (my already broken!!!!) Waters. Ended up being prepped for emergency c sec but delivered with forceps in the end. I also got sepsis and had to stay in hospital for 6 nights!
I know people have much worse ordeals but I really feel like the MWs weren't listening to what I wanted. I feel with a home birth with #2 I'd be in more control but can I have this with PROM? Will PROM be likely just because #1 was? And because #1 came early will #2 be likely too as well (people keep telling me #2 comes earlier than #1!!)
Sorry I'm ranting and stressing rather unnecessarily early!
