Hi Ladies,
Some moral support and advice needed over hear. I know there are 100s of posts about this but I just felt for some reassurance I wanted to post my own.
I am 36+3 days pregnant. I have a consultant appointment booked for next week 27th a MK Hospital regarding ELCS. I have heard my consultant is very understanding, so I hope everything works out ok.
I have sufferer very traumatic births in my family, my mother tore, my cousins son stopped breathing as was stuck, and my grandma suffered a horrifying still birth. All of this haunts me, I suffer with panic attacks, and have an extreme case of aniexty. I have been attending counselling sessions for the last 7 months to try and get me through and opt for a natural birth. But nothing is shaking this feeling, I have tried everything I have done all my research on pros and cons and I am aware of the NICE guidelines on caesareans. I am up most nights with intrusive thinking regarding the birth and I know it will not be a safe way for my son to be born naturally as I will go into a state of panic and pass out.
I will take all my notes, and information including the counselling I have done with me to support my case. I just hope it works out for me as my aniexty is through the roof. I had a positive meeting with the consultant midwife just have to wait for my consultant. What does everyone think? I'm scared I'm going to break down in the meeting.
