infantal glaucoma and child birth

infantal glaucoma and child birth

Hi there
I had a c section for my first born due to two failed inductions. She was diagnosed with infantal glaucoma. We have been treated successfully at Moorefields. I am now expecting my second child with a 1 in 4 chance of the baby having the same condition. My doctor has stressed I should have another c section to avoid any complications but my Gyaeclogist says I can try for a natural birth, I think failing to see the problem due to cost involved in another c section.
Could you please advise.
Many thanks.

I do not think this makes a difference regarding infantile glaucoma.
