I'm going to be 39 weeks on Friday and I have polyhydramnios.
I have loads of excess fluid and the midwife I saw today thinks that they may do a controlled water break in theatre. I was quite shocked and didn't ask all the questions that flooded my brain.
So if the waters break and there's no problem, will I get a normal delivery? Do your contractions start straight after they break? If it goes wrong and the cord pops out will I get a general anasthetic or a spinal?
Anyone with any knowledge would be most welcome, I'm pretty scared.
