Hey there everyone!
I am not pregnant yet!
But me and my partner are planning on trying for a baby very soon!

I have a genuine fear of giving birth in a what people call natrually way,
this is not something i am bragging about, in fact i am actually a bit ashamed of what people may think,
my mother had 2 C.sections,after awful experiances... my friends birth of her daughter [that i was present for] ended up with her screaming the place down and with 3rd degree tears, my cousin had horrific experiance with her sons birth, and i dont think i have had one person tell me face to face that im doing the wrong thing by trying my best to get as much info on having a C.Section as possible,

yes i know people can have amazing lovely births, i know!
its just not something i feel incapable of,
i have nightmares about it, panic attacks, and feel physically sick thinking about doing it the natural way!
im sorry, but its just how i am.
of corse, if i get offfred couciling, i will take it! But i have had counciling many many times before, for a number of things, ... so i know alllll about that.

With all the bad experiances and with my own mother telling me i should have a c section, after she had PostND twice with me and my brother, after she had days and days of labour... and had to have c sections anyway... my minds pretty made up,
i have support, i dont need people telling me how its wrong, or if they think its stupid, i need advise to make me feel better, i want to plan ahead, i am desparate for a little one!
He/She would be adored dearly trust me!

I dont want Pnd or go through something that would trumatise me for the rest of my life, i have enough panic attacks as it is, something i have always suffered with unfortunatly

If anyone knows how i feel that would be great,
and any one who knows any private centres and how much it was? ...
Anything, i just really reallllyyy need some help!;
i want to plan my baby!

oh and take no notice of bad comments or negativity. you are the one who has to live your life, for you and your baby and partner. you are answerable to no one for fighting for what you want for the benefit for you and your baby.

Ema76,
thank you so much for the comments, i had read your thread and all your comments on how you got yours,
i just really hope i am as lucky as you!

Your right, it doesnt matter what people think, or how people try to persuade you to do it the so called 'normal' way,
it really is how you feel you want to bring your child into this world,
we shoudlnt have to explain ourselves to get what we feel we need. Its a fear no one can explain and i dont think u can easily get over! And For me watching birth video's and hearing about the lovely V.births from people just make it worse for me.

Yeah i will defo fight for what i know is best for me and my baby,
or should i say my future baby... that i soooo long for!

thank you i feel alot more confident now.
i just want this one thing, it shouldnt be too much to ask for.

im gonna go for it and try for one!
Thank you again, and im sure in months to come me and you will be sharing stories!
xx
