Ah you are preaching to the choir here!! I can't wait either!! I've 8 weeks to go as I'm having a section at 39weeks and it can't come soon enough!! Being pregnant really doesn't suit me!! I've placenta prevea, SPD, killer heartburn and mystery pains which nobody can explain to me all of which gets me down. I've had a chat with this little man and asked him to be as kind as he can to mummy's body until it's our c-section date and come without a fight
I hope you don't mind me asking and don't think I'm rude! Could I ask if you're having a c section because of SPD? I have this and it seems to be getting worse and I'm worried about labouring with it. Xx
Hey there, Of course I dont mind!! I'm not having the c-section because of SPD specifically but it was a reason for me not to attempt a VBAC. I had a section with DD as she was breech, at that point my consultant was prepared to consider it on the basis of SPD as well if I had gone over.
This time I chose to have a c-section as I felt that the risks of VBAC were higher than those of another c-section. I also felt that I got so sore and depressed last time I was pregnant that the sooner baby was born the better, going over would probably send me over the edge and having a date to work towards is a real help to me mentally.
Have you had a look at the pelvic partnership website? https://www.pelvicpartnership.org.uk/ There is loads of advise about labouring with SPD and you need to ensure that your MWs are aware of your limitations as they could accidentally injure you by pulling your legs too far.
