Hi,
I had a difficult pregnancy and birth with my first child and although I received excellent antenatal care, the delivery and postnatal period was a completely different ball game! (Possibly too much information to go into detail about it but essentially I ended up very unwell for several months). I've just about recovered now and we have started to think about having a DC2 (DC1 is 2 years old).
I went to my GP feeling quite confident I wanted to go ahead with a second pregnancy and I have been given an appointment at the obstetrics clinic to discuss possible pregnancy options and management because of what happened last time. I thought I'd be ok with it, but now it's real I feel so anxious about it, I don't think I can actually muster up the courage to attend! It's as if all the memories and how I felt at the time have come back. I don't know whether to cancel and wait a bit longer until we are certain we want a dc2?
I don't really know what I'm asking for really, but arghhh! what do I do?
