Anyone else in the same boat as me and are pretty sure they'll end up with section after a previous birth or health problem? How do you feel about it? I am totally split about it. I had a very ineffective labour lsat time and my body just didn't do anything. I was induced and only dilated from 2cm when I arrived to 2.5cm when I was taken down for my emergency section. DS just didn't tolerate the labour at all and they kept losing his heartbeat! In the end he got distressed so it was all a bit of a whirlwind!
I was told I would not be induced again (basically syntocin doesn't agree with me) and they don't leave someone who has had a previous section to go overdue (thank god lol) so basically if I don't go into labour before 39 weeks it will be a section again!!! You do feel like you've failed as a woman coz you can't even give birth normally but at the same time I know what to expect from a section and I will know my baby's birthday from around 28 weeks!
Sorry, hope I haven't scared any first time mummies, I really haven't heard of many people who can't tolerate syntocin so I wouldn't worry, I'm just weird.
Anyone in a similar position?
