but not sure what I want. I'm not afraid of labour (despite last one being back to back, having asthma attack due to GnA, and lasting a fair few days) and am apprehensive about a CS however

I don't want my PFs to be any more ruined than they are. I could never get back into running proper as it would be constant need to wee and in order to go for runs I would not drink before hand often end up with cystitis after the run.

Controlling gas was a issue

Regarding bowel movements it is hard to say as I think I have IBS so therefore if I needed to go, I needed to go suddenly and without warning. Who can tell if it's worse of not (although I seem to have trouble with wiping now - sorry TMI)

Ever since the start of the pg PFs got drastically worse (is this a permanent or temporary thing). I feel like I had some troubles before hand but they were manageable - just and I just don't want to risk further damage.

I am not well read though, is the labour likely to cause problems (yes I know a lot of damage is just due to pg)

Sorry for the ramble, any info appreciated. I want to go in a bit forewarned etc. as obviously there isn't much time left (due to various life circumstances birth has yet to be discussed in my care largely due to only recently arriving back in the UK). I'm worried that I want a CS but would be too chicken to fight my corner

TIA

I don't know about you PA but I felt like a hero for managing to do it naturally the second time. Absolutely no criticism of people who don't, just that I was keen to if I could. Well done and I'm so glad you now have a more positive experience under your belt.
