Hi ladies 
Its been a while since I've posted on here but a huge thank you to Danni for updating you all - she is sooooo sweet 
I have been to the hospital again and spoke to my consultant in great depth - I have to say I was overwhelmed by the amount of time she kindly gave me.I explained my fears to her - she explained her concerns of my delivery etc. I honestly now believe what she is saying and I don't think I am being scare mongered (think that's a word
) Well that's how I felt before anyway.
I had my scan - baby is measuring small - 31 weeks
and my placenta is covering the whole of the front of my tummy which could explain the pain I'm having.They could not see my scar or measure the thickness so that was a no go area. This is where my consultant said I would be at risk as she would not know what is happening until I was in established labour and only if the baby showed signs of distress.This was the scary part for me and really brought me down to earth with a bump.
If the baby showed signs of distress then there is only a 10 minute time frame to get the baby out, and she has had ladies where 10 mins has been too late
Then there is me t think of, she said my scar could just give at any time and then my life would be in danger too.We decided that the safest method of delivery was to have an elective section which I never wanted to be honest but I can't see myself giving birth naturally and enjoying the process - I am so frightened of anything happening to LO or myself. I would have been delivered next week but babe is too small so she gave me 6th August.
I hope all you ladies are well and I just wanted to say a big thank you to all who have listedned to me moaning - you are all wonderful
