I don't have my date yet, but I presume it will be about a week or so before my due date, this is my 3rd section, and im petrified.....you would think id be ok about it by now, but no.

Im scared in case the spinal doesn't work, and that il get an infection in the wound....im even having nightmares about it all now, I could cry.

Aww sorry you are so scared were your precious sections not positive experiences? I had my first daughter vaginally and then elected to have my second daughter by c section and it was an amazing, beautiful experience! I'd do another c sec birth and recovery in a heartbeat! Try and relax, don't let your fear spoil these last months for you xx

My 1st section was an emergency one at Birmingham womens hospital, after 30 hours of labour, I was just 20, and a single mom, living on my own with no help. I developed an infection, which burst my wound, and lasted for 9 weeks. Il never forget what a God awful time that was for me, it effected my bonding with my son, as I was in so much pain, alone, and frightened. The midwives were bitches, they didn't help at all, and I had no idea what to do with a baby.

My 2nd section was at Solihul hospital (now they are midwife led only) and it was brilliant. Lovely staff, great procedure, fab recovery, and brill all round. I had my bf (now hubby) and everything was great.

But now im back in at Birmingham womens hospital :/ as Solihul are midwife led only, and I have to have a section I do not trust them at all. Thankfully now I know what im doing, and God help them if they want to be bitches!! I know exactly how I should be treated, and there will be hell if things are not done properly. I worry they wont give me some antibiotics to take after baby is born, im going to ask the doc next time im in the hospital.

Wow iv ranted on a bit there, sorry about that lol.

Im glad your experience was a good one, they are not all bad. xx
