lilly - good luck and hope you get a bed in the birthing centre
Ashley - My plug with my 1st was just gross like others have said looked like jelly/snot stretchy like ewcm.
Itsy - i am going to be very honest so take from it what you want just remember everyone is different.....
my 1st born had whats called shoulder dystocia in other words he was too big for my pelvis. I got his head out and his shoulders were stuck. I ended up with an episotomy and a ventous delivery. A very long story i dont think anyone here needs to read at the moment, but luckily baby was born eventually but could of ended up with needing to have his shoulder broken It ended with me having postnatal depression and not bonding well with baby.
c-section as with every operation there are risks mainly to mom not so much for baby. I only had complications with me not baby in both of my sections and if i was had of been ok everything would of been much better. But the main thing is baby was born much safer and happy and i am able to bond as i should.
I asked my mom who was with my for my 1st born and has obviously seen me after both c-sections what her opinion is regards me trying for a vbac ( she has had 3 natural births) her response was... Kelly i would rather give birth to all my 3 again than see you go through what you did! That said it all to me.
I hope this helps, sorry it is long and i am not trying to influence you in anyway at all, just sharing my experience for you to think about. Hope everything goes well, good luck
