I had my first consultant appointment today. I have had 3 c sections the last one was 16 years ago. the registrar told me today that the surgery for a 4th is very tricky, she said that I could end up with bowel damage and a colostomy and/or bladder damage and be operated on further resulting in a catheter for at least 2 weeks. she then told me if I chose to deliver naturally there was a high risk of uterine rupture and a hysterectomy. im now petrified either way when I'm sure in reality the likihood is that I'll be ok. feeling sad and worried now.
hi. I'm 21 weeks now. I'm seeing the consultant midwife next week to discuss. thanks for asking.
thank you. the consultant midwife was amazing. she is supporting natural delivery as long as I go to term. so happy.
