I'm starting to think about this as I'm basically 27 weeks and am due to have a proper talk with the consultant in 2 weeks.
I have a chronic hip condition which means I have limited mobility and also can't move my leg out to the side. I have better mobility in water, but have been told no chance of a water birth due to various other issues in my pregnancy making me a higher risk.
This is my first baby, and I always imagined I'd go through labour. Now I'm worried about my leg being in a painful position for too long and then having to deal with horrific pain as well as recovering from the birth and looking after the baby. DH suggested that I try labour, but that if it is too much for me then swap to a section, but what if there are no spaces for one when I need it.
Everyone is telling me it is my choice and that whatever I choose will be supported by the various teams, but I don't know how to choose.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation?
