Hello! First time posting on here, but looking for any advice as google searches are proving to be a little lacking in info. Will try to keep this quick.
In Oct 2023, I went into a very fast, pretty traumatic labour (8/9 days overdue). The whole thing is a bit of a blur, I was in early labour for what felt like days, got 3 sweeps over 3 days and finally my contractions started progressing so we were advised to head into the hospital. They said I was only 1-2cm dilated so advised I went home (30 mins away) and come back later in the night when labour had progressed.
We headed home and within the hour, things rapidly declined. Rushed back into the hospital, vomiting, unable to walk and in severe pain (to be expected). Very quickly told something was wrong and taken straight to theatre. During the emergency section, I was in and out of consciousness, however they called for more surgeons as my son was stuck. He was taken straight to NICU and I was in high dependency too. I was told I’d had complications which resulted in an additional T-incision in my uterus.
There wasn’t much other info given, even in my surgery follow up, other than that I’m a higher risk for uterine rupture, can’t give birth vaginally, will give birth next time at 37 weeks and should wait 18 months before having a second child.
I’m considering trying for my second later this year, but am now feeling very underprepared for what’s to come.
If anyone may have experienced similar and continued to have more pregnancies, I’d love to hear from you - planning to get booked in with the doctor too.
Thanks in advance!
