Hi, looking for some advice on elective C section after a previous natural birth. Long story short my first labour was long and hard 33 hours and my baby girl was on the large side 9.4lbs. The thought of birth and labour again absolutely petrifies me and we have been told this baby is also looking to be on the larger side. I was so worn out by the time it came to pushing last time that I literally could not do it and was pushing for 1.5 hours until she finally came out. I’m seriously considering an elective as I just have so much anxiety over the whole natural birth scenario again, but on the other side also have anxiety about c section recovery… my recovery with my first was pretty straight forward and quick thankfully so that’s the only plus. Just wondering if anyone was in the same sort of predicament and questioning having a possible c section for their 2nd baby and how the recover was as I’ve read some horror stories…
