Been to the hossy...oh so confussed!!!

Comment Published at 15:2315:234 comments4 comments28 Visits28 VisitsReport

Yep still confussed, but they went through it all my last labour and basically the decition for a c section was due to a hell of alot of bad look on paper im good to go vbac as its over 18mnths since my section i have a wide pelvis etc etc but its upto me i can choose anouther section and boy have i come away with alot of info, i thought she wanted a desition there n then but she said shes happy to see me in 2 weeks if i want a section it will be a matter of days if that depending on what they have free.

But now ive spoken to some one who actually seemed to have read my notes for a change im swaying towards a vbac they gave me this great chart which when you think about it satistics say im safer we section but babys safer we vbac so im left papping myself lol but i think best for bub wins.

As you know Im not a fan of the nhs but I have to give them credit when i needed a section fast mac was out in 7 min so if i did need them i have that as some reasurrance.

Baileys currently head down and is unlikely to move now so thats better and a big factor for me is that i cld be home 6hrs later without the recovery of a section...

Any way thats about all I can tell you right now no final desition has been made and im already doing the ifs and buts i dont think i have ever been this nervous....

Hey there Jo. Don't go stressing yourself too much hun, do what you feel is right for you both...as you know I had no trouble recovering after my emergency section or the planned one & if I had a choice to try for the VBAC with Oscar I would have. Follow your heart on this one hunni!

Hey Jo

If all is well in your position I would go for a VBAC. My c-section was not that straight forward it started soon after 12.30am and JB was not born until 3.03 am and I left the operating theatre at 5.45am. I remember how hard those first 3 weeks post c-section were and I would give anything to have a quicker recovery. The only worry I would have about a VBAC is the worry of going through the labour again only to end up with a c-section but there is not guarantee this is what would happen. Everyone is different and what ever is best for you and baby, I am sure you will make the right decision!

Lorna you hit the nail on the head there, thats a big consern that I cld go through it all only to end up with a section anyway then having an emergency section rather than a planned has higher risk of infection but hey with any luck that wont happen and i can be home with my boys within hrs....maybe not but thats what im telling myself to get me through it lol

You do what feels right for you. If you want to go the natural birth than go for it I say! A very close friend of mine has had a c section and then went on to deliver her beautiful baby boy naturally. It's a tough decision to make but you like said, you've always got the back up of a c section there if you need it. Choose what you think is best for you. Good luck and all the very best,

love,

fi xoxo
