Is anyone contemplating a c section after a traumatic first birth?
First birth was 3y ago for me. Baby was stuck and hospital mismanagement meant I was pushing for 7h before any intervention. Then I had ALL the intervention before baby arrived with forceps. Would have been an emergency section had she not. Baby was then in ICU for a week having suffered head injury. Recovery was difficult and I was in pain for months from the episiotomy and internal brusing. Sex was non existent for the first year. I was told I was incredibly lucky not to have a prolapse. All this after my "planned" water birth at the birth centre. Pah.
This time around I'm considering a c section, entirely bc of what happened before. This will be my last baby.
Has anyone been in the same boat and would share their experience?
