I'm 28 weeks pregnant with my 2nd and I have my first consultant appointment on Wednesday.
With my dd I was induced because she was in distress, but it didn't really work. I wasn't dilating and her heart rate kept dropping. It was all pretty horrible, they manually broke my waters which hurt, my contractions ramped up once I was on the drip but they then got too much without me dilating at all. I then had to have something done where they checked my dds oxygen while she was inside me still. Eventually after 13 hours they decided on an emcs. I actually found the c section recovery ok overall.
My midwife says I would be fine for a normal birth but I am really nervous. With my dd I felt ignored for the last few weeks, it turned out my liver levels were really high and I ended up back in hospital 2 weeks after she was born. I also have spd which is so painful and I don't want to make it worse.
What should I expect from the consultant? Are they going to just push for vaginal birth?
