@Rheo oh my that must be awful!! i couldn’t imagine how hard it is carrying a baby and having a broken rib bless you😫. thank you so much for the advice! i’ve just been feeling a section would probably be the best bet for me right now, the thought of natural birth is just overwhelming to me at this point as much as i’d love to have natural i just feel so overwhelmed and overstimulated at the thought of it xx
You might be able to get one - but I’m 38 weeks and have had it booked for next week for over 2 weeks now. Might depend on how busy they are in your area as they like to do them at 39 weeks. If you’re sure, I’d call them first thing. Good luck x
@Libby yes it is very painful I can’t move, especially as she’s got her feet on the side of the break. You should definitely bring it up they should take your wishes into consideration xx
If that is what you would like then you go for it and ask. I would say at the next available opportunity. Even if they can’t help with it at the scan, at least you tried because they might be able to refer you to someone to get it changed. Add it to your badger noted birth plan and maybe reach out to the actual midwife unit? Just so you can get it sorted as soon as for yourself
I had an appointment this week with my community midwife and she was happy with natural labour. I simply just said I’d like a c section, one reason being I’ve got a broken rib. I can’t move never mind push a baby out and just for my own peace of mind for other reasons. She didn’t even question me, she just booked me an appointment with an obstetrician to discuss and book a section. definitely bring it up, it shouldn’t be an issue x
