If so.. how? when?
I understand people have very different views and this isnt something Im taking lightly- alot of thought has gone into my decision.
Main reasons are-
- Im already consultant led due to very low blood preassure and a seizure a few years ago. I faint very easily which has become worse during pregnancy. Im worried this will affect my labour
- My mum was my birthing partner due to me being absolutely terrified of fainting during birth and she has recently passed away. It was suicide so a huge shock for me at 6 months pregnant I'm really struggling to get my head around it. She was my rock- amazingly supportive and knew all the right things to help me through delivery. My husband is amazing also- but he isnt my mother and in a nice way he doesnt have a clue.
- Baby is breech and has been since 20 weeks- not moving once. So if she remains that way I will have a c-section anyway.
- Baby is estimated to be big. Was measuring 3 weeks ahead at my 28 week scan.
Noone has mentioned a c-section to me. On wednesday I have an appointment with my consultant, Ill be 30 weeks but its classed as my 28 week appointment as I was away when they wanted to schedule it.
How do i approach the subject?
Im aware alot of people may tell me not to do this but i really just want positive advice
Thanks
