the risk of complications repeating themselves?

[somethingwittynot]

we are planning number two and i had lots of complications with DS.

spd
pre-term labour 29&31 weeks
group b strep
and pre-eclampsia toxemia
fetal distress in labour
and a massive pph.

im hopefully trying for a VBAC after a crash emergancy section.

just wondered if anybody had several complications or any complications and did they repeat? xx

It's probably best to talk to your GP about the likelihood of these things recurring, anything we tell you is merely anecdotal remember and could just add to your anxiety.

For what it's worth:

• I had SPD in pg 2 and currently pg3 but chiropractor has worked MIRACLES I tell you!

• No experience of pre-term labour.

• PET at 40 weeks with DC1, 35 weeks with DC2. Apparently, if DC2 is with the same father, you are statistically LESS likely to get it again due to a kind of immunity effect or something. But As I am in the minority of having it twice, I am statistically MORE likely to get it again IYSWIM. Let's hope you are in the former group.

• Foetal distress in labour with DC1, but this could have been caused by any million of things so I can't see how this could be predicted? Maybe someone else knows? It could be a very particular circumstance of your labour.

• no experience of PPH.

But please, ask your GP about your personal circumstances, health and experiences.

Good luck OP

thankyou :) DC2 will be with the same father and hopefully we dont follow the pattern of a singleton followed by twins

will book an appt with the gp and when i do fall pregnant i will bring it up with the MW at booking xxx
