Hi all,
My first labour was long and hard, and at the end I was pushing for 3 hours, with 2 attempts at ventouse then finally forceps. I had a huge episiotomy and it took me a long time to heal. I had urinary incontinence and some physio that was starting to help but now I'm pregnant again and it's seriously bad now!
I'm 36 weeks and the physio has suggested a C-Section in order to prevent further damage. The problem is that after the birth my partner has 2 weeks maximum and I live in a place where I need to drive, will have to take my toddler (2 yrs) to nursery, get him ready, into the high chair etc all on my own. As far as I've understood this isn't really possible that soon after a caesarean!
So my question is whether it would actually make a difference to my pelvic floor, coz if it's ruined anyway (as they have suggested!) then maybe it isn't worth me going through a C-section?
Also, does anyone know if having a weak pelvic floor would prevent me being able to push this one out effectively?!
I was just wondering if anyone else has been in this position and what the outcome was :)
Thank you!
