Hello all,
Im looking for support/advice, and please no horror stories because Im anxious enough!
So last year I had a beautiful baby, I was in labour for 3 days and it was excruciating as baby was back to back the whole time. By the time I got to the labour suite I was EXHAUSTED and had the epidural, which slowed down my labour, stopped any chance of baby turning, and resulted in 3 failed attempts of manual turning, and then taken to theatre for episiotomy and rotational forceps.
My pelvic floor was shattered afterwards and the recovery was long, painful and worrying.
Im not trying for another baby right this minute but have started thinking what id do. Would I attempt another vaginal birth and risk that all happening again or worse (included continence issues). OR do I opt for elective C section, which also sounds pretty traumatising but would avoid another trauma to my pelvic floor or even a prolapse.
I feel emotionally drained just thinking about this all the time. Any advice would be so greatly appreciated x
