I have read some of the threads on various issues relating to big babies, CSs etc - but the thing that I am most worried about if I do elect to have a CS (had natural delivery last time- not without its' complications)is the recovery time and how that will impact on my DS1 and also caring for the new baby. Apart from the big baby issue (they have mentioned a concern re shoulder dystophia (spelling?)) is the thought of pushing with the amount of swelling I have down below at the mo.... but main concern is recovery issues..
I would love to hear from anyone who has any experience of a CS while caring for a boisterious toddler etc
Am 35 weeks and seeing consultant on Monday to discuss all options... (there is a chance that even if we do elect for CS that it turns into an unplanned one as last baby was early)

CS or not.. big baby predicted, vulval varicose veins and piles, plus DS1 who is 2.8 months and will need lots of cuddles when baby arrives...
