Have you chose to go vbac then changed to planned c section

[Flower08]

Hi

My first was 15 days over failed induction emergency section put to sleep half way through and lost so much blood.

I’m now 3 days overdue as did agree to try for vbac I am booked in for my elective on Tuesday.

I have now whimped out of Vbac the main reason being I still could end up needing an emergency and my baby is back to back and a good size, and I’ve honestly been having panic attacks over another emergency 😕 so If I do come into labour before then they will give me a semi elective which is still calmer than an emergency. My midwife has been amazing and very supportive over this and agrees that my concerns are valid enough.

Now my emotions are so high at the min, I still to this day get flash backs of what happened and that I didn’t get to see my baby for hours after.

My MIL has made comments saying it’s a shame you can’t do natural.. I know she means well but it’s made me feel crap tbh like I should be trying.

I struggled with infertility and it took us 5 years to convince our first.

I’d just love to hear some positive section story’s ?

Had an elective section with my twins as both breech. Fabulous experience for me, what I liked was that it was scheduled... I booked a tesco shop for the night before, and could make sure the house was tidy and I had everything I needed. As a control freak it was so much more my style than my spontaneous labour with Dc1! I healed OK too. Tell anyone who has an opinion about your pregnancy to F off... Maybe just under your breath in Mils case!

Oh and I was passed my babies almost immediately after delivery which was great. That should be the case if there are no other issues. Enjoy your long awaited baby and don't let anyone's clumsy comments ruin this joyful time x

Thanks bubble I’m so pleased it went great for you. And congratulations on your twins 👯‍♀️

I’m a bit ocd tbh and that’s another thing is that I want to come home to a clean tidy house lol

I do ignore her she’s a typical annoying MIL but just think people should think before they open their trap x
