Im due c section at 39 + 4 which means ile only be 3 days from due date. I did go over due wih dcs 1/2 so docs are assuming ile automatically reach due date this time but im worrying in case i dont and go early.
Its imperative i dont have a natural labour as i had prolapse repair surgery less than a year ago and labour would completely undo the results of that and put pressure on my internal scars.
I also have quick labours so if i do go into labour before the date it will be an emegency cection done in a rush which scares me as i had complications following my surgery last year which meant i had a massive internal bleed and almost died and would have done if i hadnt been taken back to theatre for an emergency op to stem the bleed.
Docs are saying if i have the section before 39 weeks plus i will have to be given steroids etc for babys lungs which i didnt think was neccessary at that stage? Im due fri14th march and It was meant to be being done 1 week before on 7th but they now have no surgeons on that day and are booked up on the mon so im down for the tuesday.
I feel as though im being fobbed and they arent considering my fears or concerns which ive expressed to several different health professionals.
Im wondering if i should ask to see my gp mw this week and tell her how i feel and see if she can help to bring the date forward slightly but not sure if she has that sort of power?
What would you do? And any advice about labours happening early with subsequent babies would be interesting to hear about
