i would have loved to have a natural birth and now i feel i wont be able to!! ....i kinda feel that i missed out! =(
I felt like this too after my section. They told me I would be eligeable for VBAC and then said "but with continuous monitoring and everything of course"
It really upset me at the time cos I HATED being on the monitor when I was in labour cos of having to lie down and I cant imagine going through a whole labour like that. But now Im a bit more distanced from the whole thing I see that althought Im going to have to fight for it, I wont be having continuous monitoring. They cant wrestle me onto the bed to make me have it
The silent knife book has some lovely chapters on emotional recovery from a c-section which really helped me, so Id recommend it even if youre not considering another pregnancy.
