The Plan

So my MW and I have made a plan for this one's birth. She will get 1 week to come on her own, and if she isnt here by 41 weeks then we will have a elective c section booked in(will do that when I see the specialist in about 3 weeks or so).
They wont induce me at all due the risk of uterus rupturing.

Also, my MW said that any time during the labour if I feel like I cant do it anymore, I can tell them Ive had enough and can request a c section, so that makes me feel better, that I can call the shots more this time!
I think i was left FAR too long in labour before they did my c section, cos by the time it was done, me and Caden were exausted and had high temps and it was just sucky! DH didnt even get to cut the cord cos it was so emergency this time It would be lovely if he could cut the cord, and if we could get some photo's etc.

Anyways, thats my little update, will know more once mW and I have spoken to the specialist!

Awesome Shez, sound like a great plan. Very much how my plan was with Kalz....

Its always a relief to have a plan isnt it? I felt so much better when I talked to my OB and decided to induce (even though I didnt want to) as we finally had a game plan rather than waiting on nature....which IMHO often stuffs up

You will be so much more relaxed and in control this time that it will be a breeze

No, i was booked into be induced on June 24th, but my waters broke at 2.30am on the 21st(hehe a whole year ago a few hours from now) so I didnt need to get induced. Labour took a long time to progress and by the 47 hour mark I was shattered and wasnt budging past 9.5cm because there was a lip of cervix that wouldnt move, Caden was stuck, there was a lot of meconium in the waters and my temp was rising and Cadne was stressed, so they wouldnt let me go any longer and I was rushed down to theater and given the emergency c section.

Im really scared as well, Im scared of not knowing how this is all going to go, and I cant get Cadens birth out of my head, all the problems I had afterwards aswell, it took me a good 6 weeks to even be able to walk without hobbling So Im scared of another section, even though I know it wont be nearly as bad as the one with Caden, Im also scared of labour and birth if I manage to go into labour before 41 weeks!
We see the OB on the 2nd July, so I will see what he has to say, he might tell me that its better I have an elective when Im due...or he might encourage me to try for a VBAC, gah I dont know which Id rather do now lol!

Sorry that post turned into a bit of a rant!
