Hi all, sorry if this is a bit of a long post I'm just wondering if anyone has been in the same position. I'm currently 36 weeks with my second after a traumatic miscarriage last February and I'm very excited. However my DDs birth has left a bit of a scar on me, we both almost died and now I cant even talk about the experience without bursting into tears even though it was almost 2 years ago. I'm also now getting flashbacks and dreaming about it as well. After speaking to my consultant today I have asked for an elective Csection as I really feel I wont be able to mentally cope with labour. The hospital have been supportive and I am waiting to hear back from the consultant to discuss it and hopefully book me in. I'm just wondering if anyone has been through something similar? Also I'm worrying now that the hospital are going to think I'm a mental case that cant cope with parent hood after I burst into tears twice! Once in front of the consultant and once in front of the midwife 😞 TIA xx
