What is the procedure? Can someone explain it please, in idiot proof language? I'm not willing to leave it to local Trust decision as to whether I can have elcs, but I would only be doing the birth and post natal as private. How would that work? Finding a place to do it privately, what to tell midwife etc etc. Second baby, absolutely sure. And if anyone has the link to that amazing thread about post natal injuries etc (the very very long one from about two years ago) it'd make my day!! ( Hoping this appears in childbirth topic, if not, phone is to blame)
