Hello everyone
I am 34 weeks pregnant with a baby boy. I had twin boys four and a half years ago, it was an awful birth and aftermath, I had a c-section and had terrible pain for at least a week afterwards. My boys were also poorly despite weighing 7 lbs each and they were transfered to another hospital and I didn't see them for 5 days. I also had thrombosis, severe anaemia and a bladder infection so felt completely pants. I honestly thought I would die. I am terrified about the prospect of another experience like this (selfish I know as I do have two healthy giants now!). I am not sure if I am going to have to have a C-section again yet, the doctor wants to assess the scar at 37 weeks and I have a pelvis scan tomorrow to see if I am 'big' enough to accommodate a baby naturally. I should add that I live in France and they are generally reluctant to try for a VBAC but the doctor is pretty good and respects my views. I feel much better generally than I did before having the twins but I am so scared. It sounds dramatic but I don't want to die and leave my boys wihtout a mum. Has anyone had any similar experiences and if so how do you overcome them? Thanks so much
