So Im currently 21 weeks with my 2nd. And the past couple weeks ive been feeling so low, upset and pretty much constantly crying, and I think its all stemming to me dreading this birth 😖 with my first I was 37 weeks, had high bp, loads of protien in my wee, was induced midnight that night, contractions came on really quick and were constant, i didnt get a break from the pain, no one listened to me gave me paracetamol, told me to get in the bath (not birthing pool, just the tub in the bathroom down the corridor. When someone came to find me they could see i was in agony, babies heartrate at dropped by this point, alarm bell pulled loads of people rushed in. Was then wheelchaired to a labour room when I had an episiotomy and vaccum and out she was by 5.30am. Doesnt sound as bad as some other stories Ive read, but i just remember the pain, and the shock afterwards i felt so so sick and down for days. And tbh i dont want to go through that again.
I wouldnt wish the experience on my worst enemy, and the fact that this is all dawning on me already is just screwing with my head 😞
If I do get preeclampsia again, can I ask for a c section instead of being induced again?
I think if I laboured naturally, and had normal contractions, I could deal with that and prep myself more, but I dont want to have that induction pain again. Ive been having nightmares about me being induced, the only good labour related dream is one I had last night and I had a csection, seemed more appealling than my other dreams that didnt end well 😔
