ok, im 22 weeks pregnant now, when i reach 35 (30th december)i have to go speak to a consultant and decide what i want to do about delivery.
I have a ds whos 2. Labour went very badly for me. when my waters broke my hallway was basically flooded with blood. Hospital wouldn't admit me, said it was normal. this was about 7pm. went through contractions etc, at 2am they were about 2 mins apart so rushed up to hospital. was examined, 2cm dilated, also took with me about 7/8 blood soaked mat pads. (i was constantly bleeding). I had an emergency c-section as was told if they didn't act ds would die and i might too.
it was horrible, i had severe pnd/anxiety afterwards and this time i have to make a choice. Do I try for a normal vaginal birth, which i have a 75% chance of doing successfully or go for an elective c-section. Both have their pros and cons and i really cant decide. I thought i would just go for an elective and hadn't really thought of going naturally.the idea makes me feel so scared because of what happened last time. would really love some advice because no one around me seems to have anything useful to say about it all. I hope this is the right place to post this. sorry if it isn't
