38+3 today, CS booked in for 39+2. I had a thread before, my last labour ended in forceps and 4th degree tear (from a 'buttonhole' tear), still have some wind problems and faecal urgency which pregnancy seems to have exacerbated somewhat. Consensus was that I'd be daft not to go for the ELCS.
But I'm shit scared. Scared of the surgery a bit, scared of the post surgical pain and not being able to pick up my baby and certainly not being able to pick up my toddler. I already have a broken leg so am fairly immobile - I have to go upstairs on my arse as it is, how the fuck am I meant to get to bed when I get home?? I almost wish I would go into labour and deliver too fast for the CS but then I'm scared of doing my poor anus and bowel more damage and ending up never able to go more than 30 seconds from a loo (which would make my job untenable), or worse. :(
