Hi this is my first time on mumsnet and feeling bit anxious. Im 41 years old and 32 weeks pregnant on my third child, my last birth was 16 years ago. I have had an enlarged right kidney which has caused pain and problems since I was 5 months and now have a terrible bad back, I am considering elective c-section as im so fed up but have had two normal deliveries previously. If I thought i may go early i would hang on. Is there anyone who is older that have gone into labour early and if they have opted for a c-section how early did you have it done under medical grounds.
