Any third time csection mums come talk to me please

[layla888]

Hi,
So I have had two previous sections and was told by the midwife I will have to have a third as its too dangerous otherwise. I am just really scared now my last one was horrific and the first was fine no problems. Ds has this morning really given me the creeps, he said totally out of the blue 'mummy you are going to die at the doctors'. I am anxious about my third section but have never spoke about it in front of the kids for obvious reasons and have no idea where he got that from!?? Now i am really scared i just keep thinking if i die what will happen to my kids and dh I feel so stupid for saying this on here, dh won't really talk to me about it or acknowledge my feelings and it makes me feel even worse. Please tell me your experiences.

How old is your ds?

Little children say strange things all the time!

You are clearly very anxious though, is there anyone to support you in real life?

What happened with your second one?

I have never had even one, but a family member has had 3.
She was able to try for a VBA2C with no. 3 but that turned into a crash section after the baby became distressed. She was very happy with the outcome - healthy baby and that she tried for a VB - despite the crash CS. Recovery was not a lot of fun physically but emotionally she was absolutely fine.

I don't know how much that helps actually! But wanted to mention it.

Please try not to worry too much about what your DC said. My DS always tells me I'm pregnant. I'm definitely not, it's wishful thinking on his part

I've had three EMCS. They were all fine, I'd have tried to have DD (number 3) naturally but she came early and it was all a bit dramatic. My second was the worst too.

I've had 4, all fine, and also have experience of dc coming out with lots of creepy stuff that hasn't come true!

Hello! I'm expecting DC3 in July. (also 3rd C-section)

I am booked in for a ELCS under a GA.

Keep worrying about the same things, what if something goes wrong etc.

Would so much preferred to have been awake, but alas it cannot be.

Just trying to focus on the fact it's the only way baby can come out, and the safest option.
