Sorry for the long post but I need to make a decision soon on how I wish to give birth. I'm currently 34+1 and was planning a water birth however I have Group B Strep so have been advised I won't be allowed, as I have to be given antibiotics through a drip during labour.

I was induced with my last DD which was fine but I had 2nd degree tearing and it took about 8 weeks to recover I was in so much pain. I had a emergency section with my 1st which was a much shorter recovery time but was 19 years ago 🙈

I'm also currently having growth scans yesterday baby was estimated to be 5lb 13 and is on the 90th percentile so to me seems like she is going to be a whopper. My 1st was 5lb 14 and 2nd was 9lb 3.

I'm so stuck on what I want to do and DH has said he will support me either way. My DD is 14mths old so I'm worried a c section will leave me immobile for too long and I wont be able to handle both babies, but then I'm worried about tearing again with such a big baby and the group b strep risk.

What would you guys do? how do I make a decision its stressing me out Confused.
