Morning,
The consultant i saw yesterday was a total arse really.
He made me feel really uncomfortable and had a total attitude. He was going over what i will need to do and he said 'if you go into labour before your date and you come in with the baby between your legs you can forget a c/s'
I then asked if i could come in a couple of days before 39 weeks as i had childcare over the weekend and he said no they cant do it before 39 weeks. I said ok thats fine i just thought id ask, his reply was 'we dont do it for women who have husbands in the army who are home on leave so we certainly wouldnt do it for you'
So anyway he was going over the risks etc on a consent form and he said ' so its not really a walk in the park theres a lot of risks you might be safer with a vbac'
I pointed out that i had a em c/s before and there was a chance that if i did go for a vbac the same could happen again so surely the risks would still be there for a em c/s.
He just shrugged his shoulders and said 'well its up to you then'
He gave me a copy of the consent for and said 'just wait in the waiting room someone will come and give you a leaftlet soon'
That was it, that was what ive been waiting for all these months. I thought id get the chance to discuss things properly and ask questions but i couldnt ask him anything, i was scared of what he'd say or how he'd say it.
Ive got to go in the day before to have a assesment and i'll ask what i need to then
