Labour Options

Hi mummies.. I will be a mum of two soon.. my child will be exactly 2 years apart. I gave birth in 2021, with emergency csect. As I went through a lot of grey snapshots of my labour, after birth I prolly had a mild depression or baby blue. It took me months to recover. Even though I was traumatised, I do want to have another child. Now that I’m pregnant for my second one, because of my traumatised moments during labour from the previous one. I right away wanted my labour to be csect. Because maybe I know how the process works and such. But people around me ask me to go for natural birth. I felt disheartened and taken aback because they don’t know what I went through and it’s traumatic. Therefore I don’t want to go through natural birth because I don’t know what to expect and I don’t want to go through another traumatising moments again. If anyone can share you thoughts or views, so that I can enjoy my second pregnancy in peace and happy. 🥺🥺

Go with your gut feelings. Ask your gynae for his/her professional advice on the risks of each delivery method for this 2nd childbirth. (cos some gyane does not recommend natural birth after the 1st c-sect). Ultimately you have to be comfortable with your choice and your gynae's method. There's is absolutely nothing wrong with going a 2nd c-sect because you are comfortable with the procedure (as long as you weigh in the risks with your gynae). :) While there may be people who discourage you, there are also fellow mummies within the communitt who respect your decision. Jia You and all the best wishing you smooth pregnancy + delivery! *hugs
