Wow, I wish I had found someone to make that decision as fast as you guys got it, Waikato made me wait til the 72nd hour (I am not kidding you!) before finally giving the nod for a crash caesar, and even then it was only cos his heart rate kept dipping dangerously low... as it turned out, his heart rate was nothing by the time they got me to theatre and got him out. took 6 minutes for them to make him take his first breath.
All the panic and pain I went through over those 3 days (especially in the last couple of hours), and the misery of a 'failed' labour, and the not being able to see him for over 24 hours, or hold him for over 48 hours...I decided a long time ago the only way I will ever have another is via elective. I DONT WANT to ever have to go through all those feelings again...it scared me to the point I swore I would never have kids again (until I met my current DP who wants kids, and changed my mind lol)
It took from 10am on the Tuesday, to about 9am on the Friday to get to 10cm (no breaks inbetween)...and they still thought I could keep going?! Between 9am and 10am they were arguing over whether I was even able to push (I hadnt gotten ANY sleep over those 3 days, even with the help of some Pethidine) and how my son was coping... the monitor started showing he clearly wasnt and it was at about 9.45 the ob-gyn over-ruled the lot of them and said I was going to have a crash c-section.... and at 10.05am he was finally out.
So yeah.... I wont even try the VBAC option lol... I am too scared of the possible outcomes, and would feel MUCH more comfortable knowing my baby is coming on this day (or week) and there wont be any surprises or panic stations, and I will be able to see bubs as soon as I am stitched up, rather than waiting til I am allowed out of bed, and then waiting for someone to wheel me down to NICU to see it...
(gotta actually GET preg first tho ay!)
omg...just realised I have written a bit of a novel LOL! sorry guys
