long story but with DS #1 i had a very difficult birth. was induced at 40+7 (had had major abdo surgery during pregnancy so scar wasnt holding up very well), had an allergic reaction to the prostin gel, labour had to be stopped and had ARM with epidural and DS was born 15hrs later with ventose that caused his skull to fracture. I also have a posterior cervix so going into labour naturally is unlikely.
am now 26 weeks pregnant with DS #2 and am starting to panic. as i cant be induced my MW said that they will let me go to 43 weeks and then it will be a c-section but i dont want. to wait 43 weeks by which point the head will be engaged etc etc. i have an appointment with the consultant at 34weeks to "discuss my options"
basically - do i ask for a c-section at 38 weeks? i know the complications of major surgery (i'm a nurse) but am also terrified of another VB after DS#1's skull fracture. I dont want to be in hospital more than 48hrs as DS#1 is only a year old
HELP!
