Sarah - good question. At the time, I think, in my case anyway, it was easier to opt for the second c-section.

I kick myself now for even wanting to try and see if we could get things moving at the hospital that night - my cervix was dilated a little, so she may have been able to break my waters or something - so I could see if my body COULD labour (who knows now, never given the chance)

But I was scared about the cord and placenta - my OB was never as serious about all our other talks as she was that night, and I could tell she was genuinely worried also. BUT, I have had the thought, if it was so concerning - why didnt they take me in for a c-section straight away??!?! Why make me wait 14 hours?!!

So I dunno

I think I should have tried harder.
