Second baby. Had elcs for the first due to placenta and vasa previa. Have had spd very badly both times - currently 23 weeks and in considerable pain with greatly reduced mobility.
I will of course see the same Osteo who helped a bit last time (state physio was zero use...) bit I’m a bit worried about being forced into VBAC and mybpelvos being damaged further.
Full disclosure: I’m not in the Uk, I’m in an EU country with no right of request for elcs, massively high birth injury rates and an obsession with all things natural.
So: is there any clinical evidence I can bring to the table that an elcs is in my interests with severe spd? It took over two years after the last birth to get any treatment for it and it’s inpacted my life hugely. I want to recover from this birth as well as possible so I can regain my pre kids fitness. Right now I’m headed to disability territory and that’s quite frightening
