Thats terrible jtink - I would consider complaining about her! Its not true at all that you are going to tear having a big baby! I know plenty of people that have had babies between 9-11 (which they would class as bigger babies here) and they didn't tear or if they did it was just a small tear. I only know of one person who had a serious tear and her son was 8 pounds 10 and it was nothing to do with the babys size but to do with the fact that when she was pushing him out the MW was on the other side of the room calling for help because they thought she was going to have a small baby! If you have a good doctor/mw then they do everything they can to help you avoid a tear - thats their job!
I can't comment on the c section so much but plenty of women have more children after a section so not sure what her thinking behind that was.
Try and disregard what she has said and see someone else, I'm sorry you were told all this! :hugs:
 
my SIL has just had her 3rd c-section and the surgeon done a good job for her so she could have a forth...... i'm just thankful she was numbed at the time of she would have booted him in the face.


what are they classing as a big baby? there was a news story in the UK a few weeks back, were the mum gave birth naturally to a 15lber.... of course we don't know your medical history and cannot give you medical advise as such, but i would urge you to look at getting a second opinion
 
I have a doctor's appointment in 2 hours with my normal, nice man doctor. I am definitely going to talk to him about what she said. I know that what she said is probably just her opinion, but I feel sick to my stomach now, and am incredibly nervous. I can't believe she would say all that. she said that my tear would be so incredibly bad that she wants a gyno specialist to repair my pelvic floor on hand for the delivery. as if that didn't make me feel like vomiting.
i'm not a person to cry, but I've been trying to not cry all day at work, and am physically shaking with nerves and sick feelings. I hope the doctor I talk to today is more reassuring.
 
wow that's awful I would complain about her I just saw my obstetrician who's doing my c section and she informed me of the things that can happen with subsequent c sections there's always a possibility of something to go wrong doesn't mean its going to.
 
right ladies I am off to bed, I hope you all get a good nights sleep and feel refreshed in the morning,

JT i hope your apt went well.
 
Let us know how you get on jtink, personally I don't see how she can know all this and I think its awful of her to say it!
 
ladies, i had a great appointment. i talked to my regular doc about everything, and he had a long conversation with my GI doc.

they're going to let me try for a vaginal!! if things don't go smoothly, i'll get a section, but they don't see why i can't try for a vaginal. i am so relieved.

i will never see that lady doctor EVER AGAIN.

thank you girls for being so supportive. you girls are the best.
 
Thats great news jtink :) so pleased you saw someone who knew what they were talking about. My friend gave birth naturally to a nearly 11 lb baby without this 'awful tearing' she speaks of silly woman! And I have another friend who has had 6 c-secs so she was just trying to scare you. So glad you don't have to see her again. X
 
Saw my midwife this afternoon, baby is down low :) he was wiggling up a storm too! He is such a cute character! Can't believe only 19 days until his due date!
 
Glad u got some peace of mind jtink!
According to the wishbone from our rotisserie chicken tonight I should be going into labor any minute now:haha:
No but rly I cannot take this anymore my hips hsve never hurt so bad in my life...snd I did ballet for 15 years including tearing ligaments in my left hip...this still hurts worse. I hope he comes a liiittle early...anyone know if esrliness is genetic? My mom went two weeks early with both me and my sister..she has an identical build as I do..
 
Yay jt! I ditched my doc for bitchiness a month after I got my bfp. You def don't have to put up with her ever again! I'm so happy you got your desired delivery!
 
Yay jtink - so glad you had a better appointment - I'd still complain about that woman!

Mrsbabcock - no idea if its genetic, it wasn't for me thankfully! My mum was 12 days overdue with my sister, 8 days overdue with me and 4 days with my brother. I was only 3/4 days with my DD thankfully!

In worse pain now :( really hoping to get an oesteopathy appointment later
 
That stinks Hann. Do you think it's from LO pushing on your spine / hips? Are you able to do the cat cow stretch? Maybe that might help?
 
Thanks Sass, I was able to do stretches until yesterday but now I can't - I have no idea what's made it worse, possibly the position of the baby but hopefully the osteopath will tell me and do something about it. I'm getting lots of rolling movements from the baby, quite painful too so have no idea what it's doing in there lol!
 
I know that feeling. I'm so happy Dylan seems like she's ran out of rolling space. It was so painful. My belly button is still one big bruise. I skyped w my parents the other day and showed them and they said it looks like an angry old man.
How long til your appt Hann? I hope they're there today!
 
4 hours to go! Not that I'm counting lol!
Wow your tummy sounds painful! It's amazing what can happen when they have a good roll around. I had really bruised ribs for a couple of weeks only on one side though. You couldn't see it from the outside - Dylan must be really getting you to bruise you and be able to see it! I'm glad she's stopped now anyway!
 
can't wait to hear from babee and see pics!!!

hann, I hope your appointment goes well today. nothing worse than being in constant pain :(
