Hi everyone, I'm currently 18+3 with my second , I'm 38 yrs old and although it's still a long way away, the thought of giving birth again is really freaking me out!
First time round I had a natural birth (I hate that term - every delivery is a natural birth!! ) was induced with episiotomy and ventouse, it was horrific (I know that no one emerges out of child birth claiming it was a breeze) but the whole experience really left me feeling like I didn't want to go through that again.
I would like to ask about a C section, but I certainly don't think this is the easier option, the healing, the immobility afterwards, not being able to drive etc, these are some of the things I need to think about and that's why I would like to ask the opinions of mums out there who have been there.
Do I just knuckle down and hope that this time around it may be not too bad , or do I ask for/enquire about a C section?
Thanks ladies
