Hi Danielle,

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

I'm sorry you had such a traumatic experience with your last pregnancy and birth.

My recommendation would be to start working through the trauma from last time now. Which by being here and posting now, you've already begun the process so good for you for realising that.

I would HIGHLY recommend getting your hands on a copy of "Birthing from Within" by Pam England. This is a great book for Women whom have experienced Birth Trauma.

Where are you planning on Birthing?

As Mischa said, in your situation having continuity would be the in helping you work through your fears.

It is possible to have a positive c-sect experience and there are many stories out there of such experiences.

I wish you all the best and a happy and healthy 10 months!
