I'm 36 weeks pregnant. Tough pregnancy. Anomaly found at 20 week scan. Growth slowed at 35 weeks. Now have high PI through umbilical cord and having lots of scans and dopplers.
Everything was fine for me to go to MLU until a week ago, when growth scan showed slight decline in growth. Now potentially looking at induction which I don't particularly want, or a c section (which is a heightened risk also with induction).
DH only has a week of leave to spend with baby because of his job posting, and I have no family nearby so a c section terrifies me as I don't know how I will cope on my own. I don't have a support network and certainly nobody who would pop round to give me a hand.
I really don't want an induction as as much as people share their positive stories, the majority that I have heard have been awful. Resulted in c section and interventions. My mum had a terrible experience and my brother was affected developmentally because of how wrong it all went.
WIBU to refuse an induction as long as they didn't have any immediate concerns? I'm absolutely terrified, and am scared I will need major surgery and will just be left at home on my own to cope a week after having a c section.
Really stuck and struggling with anxiety/fear. Does anyone have any rl experience of similar?
