So just an update on my 2 appointments yesterday. Gyno confirms that there is a slightly higher chance of preterm with me due to the fact of baby having less room to grow in. I'm also at an increase risk of Cesarean because of baby being in breech position. But on a good note, baby has plenty of room atm and is happy and healthy. Just have to focus on the positives and not let myself dwell on the what ifs.. need to be stress free
Also, had an appointment with the gp obstetrician and i asked him about my risk of cesarean etc. He told me that on average, a woman is in labour for 12 hours (natural) and 1 hour for cesarean then went on to imply that he would rather do a cesarean because it was quicker and more convenient!! He actually asked me.. would i prefer to see my baby after one hour or after 12hours?! I was so shocked. I never thought doctors would jump into giving a woman a cesar because it was quicker and more convenient for them! He also said that after 12hours the midwives/doctors are all tired and therefore easier on them to give the woman a cesar!! I didn't question this at the time, i just shook my head in agreement but i don't think that is fair at all. Cesarean births are a major operation and should be last resort. Well that's my thoughts anyway.
Youngwife- the gyno mentioned women being pregnant with twins in one uterus and another baby in the other uterus at the same time. He said that they can grow at different rates and be born at different times. He didn't say whether or not they were conceived at different times though.. Hmm that would be weird.
Brooke- So sorry. I hope your dh is being supportive and helpful around the house so you can get as much rest as possible. Just try and take it easy and get him to help you out. Hope you start feeling better
BTW, thanks everyone for the support. I haven't told too many people of my situation because i've been a little embarrassed. So it's nice to be able to come on here and talk to such amazing and caring ladies who listen and understand. Thanks
