I have just found out a few days ago that i am pregnant with my sixth child.
Initially I was horrified as this was not planned and we were using contraception.
My youngest is nearly 5 so have given away pram, boucny chair , highchair, toys and clothes .
Far more important is that I already have had 5 ceseareans and this will be my 6th. I have already seen my consultant who delivered 4 of my other children to ask what risk this pregnancy will place me at as I have a large and lovely ffamily and don't want to take any chances.
He has quite relaxed about it saying that thte sixth was no more riskier in real terms than a fifth and he was happy and comfortable doing the section.
I am just nervous. Nervous of how I'll cope pregnant again at 42 and of a section and any risks and how I'll manage a baby.
Oh yes and too terrified to go to NHS as they won't guarantee I'll get a consultant delivery which according to my consultant is absolutely crucial ( as certain procedures have to be followed where multiple c sectons taken plce) and I had the worst expeirence of my life with my first dd in an nhs hospital. We were previously covered wiht insurance for other births privately but stopped that ( expensive ) insurance after thinking family complete so we will have to take heavy loan to afford it.....
