i've had my booking appointment.
i asked about the home birth and the midwife laughed and was like 'no way, we don't allow home births after a cesarean.'
We had a big discussion, me telling her i knew the facts, i knew the risks, i basically bloody know everything about the topic as i've been so worried about it.
She said I'm going to be under a consultant care as i'm high risk, i cannot even give birth in the midwife led birthing unit.
I can't go in water. I can't do anything.
She said I'd be lucky to even manage a vaginal birth in the hospital with pain relief, i would probably end up having another c section.
then she said its doubtful but maybe one day if im lucky i could have a home birth IF i 'manage' to have a vaginal birth in hospital.
I'm so upset and confused.
Oh also she weighed me and said I'm on the border of overweight and obese so i need to have glucose tests for diabetes etc?!
I know it's all bullshit. It's MY choice. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
