Worried
Had an awful nights sleep and now wide awake worrying about things. Got my 38 week scan today. already been booked for induction as on previous scans baby is big and I have polyhydraminos. I’ve had a successful previous induction and it was a good experience for me but I’m worried based on previous conversations with the dr that they’ll suggest c section today depending on scan results. I think I’ll really struggle with the clinical environment of a c section, the needle in the back etc feel like im gonna have a panic attack just thinking about it

@Lauren yeah I just wouldn’t forgive myself if I went against their advice and something went wrong. Thanks for the info about other people who have had c sections though, I don’t know anyone who’s had one
The problem with the medical advice is it is based on often unfounded risk data. It’s about being informed

You will still have a choice. You are able to go against medical advice and make an informed decision for yourself. If it’s any consolation I have multiple friends who have had planned c sections and have said they wouldn’t want to birth any other way now. It’s calm, controlled and predictable. The epidural is a quick process and you can’t see them doing it which is a big benefit
