sil pregnant and only wants c/s

[Rainbows_]

wow i cannot believe she wants to terminate her pregnancy! over a c-section!!

Anyway before i get worked up i would just advise her to get councelling and some help because that is not normal she obviously has a very deep fear of childbirth, im sure there are many places she can go for an elective c-section but it would cost her about 9,000 pound on the nhs it is free.

Gosh what will she do when she has to wake up in the night? Is this woman able mentally to look after a baby without going crazy?

Rainbows ... I think this woman needs support, not a personal attack. I notice this is only your second post. I hope your first was much nicer.

Page, the counselling sounds like a good idea as there is obviously stuff going on there (as the others have said). Hope that helps her to come to terms with the changes ahead.

The fact that she is even saying these things to you (knowing you have had to go through IVF) suggests that she doesn't seem to be thinking very clearly at the moment. Hope things improve soon.

Rainbow, i agree with the other girls that your SIL needs to talk to a proffesional about her fears etc before she drives herself and you crazy

I have a friend who was adament she wanted a c-section for her first birth, no ob would even entertain the idea without a medical reason behind it, she went on to have a drug free vaginal delivery and it so proud of herself

I hope your SIL keeps her appointment, and you might find that once she has been to a couple of antenatal appointments she might change her mind
