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
