I'm speaking to my GP tomorrow, in the hope he will agree with my request (midwife appointment isn't for another week).
I'm 33+5.
I am not too posh to push, nor am I afraid of labour. I have no physical medical condition that would suggest a section would be best option. (Although I am waiting to find out if I have GD or not, and my previous baby weighed 11lb at birth). I have a growth scan at 36+3, for the consultant to decide whether to opt for a c section or not. (I can't wait that long just to be told no).
However, before I fell pregnant I was on Fluoxetine, and daily tablets to prevent migraines. Due to the circumstances surrounding how I fell pregnant (a fling while on a break from long term relationship), I am suffering with my depression more than ever. Feelings of guilt, fear, anxiety etc are overwhelming. I am seeing a sort of counsellor that deals specifically with ante natal depression, but although a little helpful, it really isn't enough. I can't go another 6/7/8 weeks without my medicaton When I get a migraine it is unbearable, obviously I can't take any kind of painkillers that even touch it
How likely is it that I can get the GP, midwife, and consultant to agree to one?
