4 questions I have...

[massacubano]

Thanks so much ladies, I took my medicine like a good girl and I'm still here So don't think I'll actually have any issues taking the rest of them.

In my maternity notes, the midwife wrote "High risk- Anixiety, 22 years, single"....

Are these good enough reasons to make me a high risk patient?! I mean...I can understand the anxiety but my age and the fact I'm siingle, surely that can't be right?!

So taking these factors into account I don't see why I shouldn't be allowed a water birth right? I'll find out when i see the midwife next week I suppose...

I find that pregnancy is quite stressful at times even without a panic disorder (anxiety). How on earth I have five kids is beyond me. But, know you can do it hun

Hi hun,

1. After being admitted in hospital last night, I noticed they put in my maternity notes that I am a high risk pregnancy and am under consultant led care. Does this mean that it's unlikely I'll get a water birth?

I'm also classed as 'high risk' but it's due to my anxiety+depression rather than something physical, so although I'm under consultant led care and am 'high risk' I'm allowed a home birth (and would also be allowed a water birth if that's what I wanted.)
As you're (presumably) under the same midwife team and hospital I'd imagine if yours is purely for anxiety, you'll be the same

As others have said it totally depends on what makes you high-risk.
Good luck and I hope you get the birth you want! xx
