Hi all, sorry if this is long but really upset right now. Basically my consultant for this pregnancy went on leave until next year about 3 months ago but was there today. I've had a another consultant in his place who i got on very well with and we had an agreed delivery in place which was a planned section. Was finally feeling better and less stressed about it all when all of a sudden my original consultant walks in, demanded to know why I wanted a section and literally glared at me!
I explained my reasons again ( quite literally for the fourth time in 31 weeks and have heard all risks 4x over) I still have not changed my mind.
Backstory: I was induced with my daughter due to GD which ended up in a ventouse delivery, her heart rate all over the place, an epistomy and nerve damage that left me in pain for 1.5 years after my lo was born. I cannot go through that again and have GD again but this time medicated so he's pushing for another induction. Baby is also on the 90th percentile.
On top of that, as some of you ladies know and have helped me with in the past, I have chronic SPD and have been on crutches since 23 weeks, can barely open my legs and can't walk without pain relief. I have been told under no circumstances by the phyio have I to let my legs be put in stirrups (happened with first pregnancy) it was either that with episotomy and ventouse or an emergency section which it came very close to.
He actually looked down his nose at me and demanded that if that parafalegics can give birth naturally, why can't I? I do not have a good enough reason, that he will not be booking a c section for me today (which I was told would happen a week ago) and he huffed at me when I informed him of this. He didn't read my file and basically without saying it, accused me of lying about his colleagues allowing it. Then rammed all the risks down my throat and said I'll book it at 36 weeks then just walked out!
Not long after, I ended up in tears talking to the midwife who spoke to him privately and came back and booked me in for 39+1 and said he was out of line. Thanks ladies if you made it this far, just really upset right now and dreading seeing him again.
