Any advice experience welcome please. I had a birth reflections meeting after traumatic forceps delivery with no pain relief and resulted in broken coccyx. Reflections didn't really help as hospital admitted they made mistakes,
Three years later still broken and I am terrified of labour again.
I am due no.2 in January and would appreciate any advice on how others have got over their trauma or learned to deal with it,
I don't want to have a C section just because I am afraid of the alternative but equally no one knows how much pain I will be in with my coccyx after vaginal delivery. Consultant view was that coccyx won't harm the baby and we can get more steroid injections to deal with pain afterwards (which help but don't eliminate pain).
There's also the fact I'm terrified of vaginal delivery! How have others gotten over this?!
Thanks for reading this far x
