No jess wasnt a section I had a 3rd/4th degree tear (its under dispute) and a very bad recovery, the midwife said my old hospital have probably told me I was fine to try naturally because of cost cutting!! She said they shouldn't have told me that at all, and I've been lucky not to have many problems afterwards but she said the risk of me ending up with problems going to the toilet after this baby is quite high and it's safer to section,
She said If I really want to to try I can do but at the end of the day it will be me dealing with the problems at the end of it, this midwife is very pro home birth etc so I don't think she would say it unless it really is better for me to have one! I will see what the consultant says but i was in alot of pain and took months to get back to normal after Jesse (could hardly walk for weeks etc) that I don't think a c section recovery will be much worse! x
