My first daughter weighed 10lbs 8oz and I had an elective caesarian as I put on 8stone myself and was ill throughout. The caesarian was a bitch to recover from also and I shouted "Never again!" to the nurses on the ward. Guess what? The doctors and my midwife said that no two pregnancys are the same but here I am 33 weeks pregnant and the baby at the moment weighs 5lbs 10ozs with a predicted weight of 10lbs plus again (I have only put 4 stone on this time)... I am really scared about the caesarian as I was trumatised last time... Is anyone else having one? If you are how are you feeling? I am so scared I keep thinking I will die this time!

I was in the hospital for the last four months of my pregnancy last time and winded up having a c-section after 34 hours of labor. I am now preggo again and my doc is pushing for another c-section. Not sure how I feel about it. I know that a c-section is alot easier if you have not been in prior labor. Have you talked to you doctors at all about a VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarian)? I belong to a website called pregnancy weekly and there are rooms both for VBAC's and C-sections. I have found it very helpful in educating myself on what I want to do. There are both woman going through the same things and woman having recently gone through them. Good luck:)

Hi, thanks for your reply... I had to go to a VBAC course and it scared me even more because I was the only one there who had an elective c-section. Everybody else had an emergency and I found out lots of horrid ways delivery can go wrong :-( I will look up the website - Many thanks

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
