Hi All!
I am thrilled to say that I had my 5mth scan yesterday and all is well with our little boy! Yay!!
Only thing is that I told my gyno that I had a c-section with my DD and what was her recommendation for this next birth... she asked me why I had a c-section last time and I told her that it was due to me not dilating (I got to 3cm and stayed there for more than 8 hours and LO's heart rate was up and so it was decided). She was looking at the monitor and said that I will have to have c-section again because I have a long cervix... apparently 6cm when a normal length is around 3cm(!). She said in her mind there was no question that the same thing would happen if I tried to go natural again.
Anyways, I don't have a problem with going caesarean again but was just wondering if this had happened to anyone else and is it standard procedure or is my gyno over-reacting? She is very good but I am always curious for more opinions.
The little googling I have done seems to confirm her thoughts.
Thanks for any help! xxx
