I forgot to tell you all, (twin knows....cos she's my fellow Aussie and the one I whinge to a few times a day) haha
I am 95% likely going to have an elective c section after 38 weeks. I broke down in my Obs office and said how I almost wanted bub to be in the wrong position so we had no choice & my ob told me that I could make that choice and asked me for my concerns. I told her how I was feeling like I was behind an emotional glass wall esp around others in my Mothers group, 5 of them have had bubs already and I am one of the last due in March. I felt scared like I might end up empty handed and after everything we have been through in last few years (nearly losing uterus in 2012, finding out my egg reserve was low, that hubby had chromosome and sperm issues & then getting pregnant through fertility treatment only to lose bub at 16 weeks), well I was scared of birth and the things that could go wrong. Sooooo my Ob feels that emotionally a c section would be best....we can pick a date.....bub will be out quickly and it will just be recovery for me that is more than it would be for a normal vaginal birth (but bearing in mind I have had 4 previous abdominal surgeries, I know what to expect). She said I can change my mind even if we set a date, so next visit (16 Jan) I will set a date (most likely Friday 7 March).
So there you have it. I will most likely cop some hassle from my family for choosing an operation....but my ob did say she felt an elective was way better than an emergency one and didn't want that for me
