Dialating
Im 33 Weeks with my 2nd child. My last pregnancy I ended up with an emergency C-section because my body would not dialate past a 5. I personally think its because they induced me and my body was not ready. (Just a guess) With this one I am dead set on having the baby all my own (no induction no drugs) But I am soooo afraid that my body will do the same thing as last time and stop dialating, resulting in ANOTHER c-section. I really want to experience a natural birth. Has anyone else been through this?? Maybe put my mind at rest
My phone's autocorrect *****! Lol. all apologies. Surely you can make sense of what I said lol
Thank you. Im getting really scared too, but my excitement is beginning to overpower that fear thankfully. Sometimes it's so tempting to just give in and do a csection out of great of giving natural birth, fear of rupture, and just pain tired of waiting! But I know I owe myself and my son the shot at a natural delivery. Just have to accept that a csection might happen, and be satisfied with knowing we tried. I refuse to let it get me down. As long as baby makes it here safely, right? And is healthy!!
That's my plan. I've been walking a lot too and I hope that it helps. Im so scared and nervous and excited! Hope it works out for u too
Yes I know exactly how you feel. With my first I didn't dilate past a 4 and after almost 30 hours of induced labor, they took him by csection. Totally regret letting then talk me into an induction only two days after my due date. I wish I had given myself just a bit more time, but I was anxious and want as aware as I am now about things. I'm due with my second son on the 15th and trying for a vbac. I've been walking so much with this pregnancy and hoping that my body allows for the natural process to happen!! Otherwise, I will have him by the 20th via repeat csection. I truly believe if i can go into labor on my own them I can do it!!! We can do it! Best wishes for you!
I have not been through this but I'm sure if you prepare yourself mentally for whatever might happen you'll be ok. Wish the best for you.
