hello, im 35 weeks pregnant with my second baby, im booked in for a section 3rd august which is 3 weeks on monday. i am having a section because my frist birth was long and didnt end well, i started getting contractions on the wed night and was 2cm till the friday night went into hospital they gave me a sweep and sent me home early sat morning was getting contractions every 3 mins, went back to hospital sat afternoon on the sunday morning had 2 shots of dia morphine, then an epidural, and by 11:30 sunday morning was 10cm at last, but my little un's head was twisted they told me id have to go to theatre for forceps delivery, but let me push for 2 hours anyway, so eventually went into theatre got cut but he was stuck and wasnt coming out, but i did eventually give birth to me likkle boy at 2:30 pm weighing 6lb 13. i had suffered a third degree tear needing stitches, and my little boy had a black eye,ear and neck and had partial facial palsy off the forceps(this was fine after bout 6 hours). it took me about 8 months to heal, it took 4 months before i could use the loo without crying, it took bout 8 month for sex to be comfortable againx this baby has been measuing big from 20 weeks but i had a scan yesterday and shes 6lb2 if i went to 40 weeks she'd be bout 9-10lbs. too big to get out anyway. but i have told my midwife if i pop in the next 3 weeks id like to give birth another go, they have told me if i tear again theres a good chance id be left with lifelong problems (incontenance, not much feeling down there). you's probs think am mad wanting to do that again xx but the section is booked xx
just wondering what you's all thought or what you'd do in my situation,, or have been throught this, or a section, be honest please, i dont hold a grudge ,you can say what you want xxx
