Had previous section so will I have to fight to get elective this time?
(Background)
So I've had a previous section in my last pregnancy, but that was because they were both breech, I really didn't want a section and would have done anything to avoid it, but it was fine.
I'm a good candidate for VBAC, I had a natural with my son, no major complications (he was back to back, myconiurm, epistomy, needed a rescue breath, failed epis, hut nothing really problematic), my section was only as both twins were breech, my scar is horizontal etc.
I have no fear of giving birth, I loved the feeling after if given birth, and if anything for me the section is much worse physically.
BUT, I have a fear something will go wrong, and I just can't shake it, with my twins one had a rare cord issue which wasn't discovered until birth and would have caused major problems if I had delivered him and the other have strep b, I had my scan yesterday and I said I was worried about the cord issue and she said they wouldn't even check it, they are not trained to see it and the chances of picking it up would be low so no it would not be checked, I also said I should have a strep b sticker put on my notes because anyone's who child got it from chick birth should and they said no they don't do that.
My MW says to just ask my Consultant all my questions and they keep moving that date further, was meant to be 16 weeks, then 20, now 23 weeks, which I know still gives me loads of time but there are risks associated with the cord issue and I wanted to ask some questions and consultant with my old notes about it because it can kill the baby in the womb. Anyway, I just feel seen as no one seems to take note of anything I say that I'd rather just have a section.
I know the chances of anything going wrong are low, the past issues probably are not likely to play any role in this pregnancy, but they only resource I have is google and libraries and they obviously are filled with worse case scenarios.
