Hi Nadine

My DS was supposed to be a planned c/s at 39 weeks because I had partial placenta praevia, however DS had other ideas of when his bday will be and I did go into labour naturally at 36+6 with my waters breaking and contractions 5 minutes apart almost straight away.

I still ended up with c/s because of the praevia. The midwives had to give me an injection to slow down the contractions because I was progressing really quickly. I laboured for about 2 hours by the time they got me into theatre.

At first I was disappointed that I was going to have a c/s but now that I have a little bubba that I never thought I would have (endo related infertility) I'm not phased by how he got here. I'm just glad he's here. In saying that though I was happy with my ob and c/s and she says I can do a VBAC next time but I won't be upset if I don't get it.
