Hi everyone.

Thank you for reading.

I'm 24 weeks pregnant with my first baby and suffer from some mental health problems relating to previous trauma.

Although I am generally very well and posituve about my life and pregnant I am utterly petrified about giving birth.
I am so so fearful that internal examinations will trigger me into panic attacks and make childbirth almost impossible, as I was brutally sexually abused as a teen by a family member.
I am under a consultant for this pregnancy as I am deemed as high risk due to a previous blood clot.

Would IBU to speak with my midwife honestly and ask if they would consider a csection due to this?

Thank you.
