    I meant to say I had to make a heartbreaking choice at 21 weeks with my daughter so I know how you are feeling about cutting you pg short ( i do know a greta website which is specifiaclly for people who have had to make the heartbreaking choice due to medical conditions)

    I am so so sorry fr the decision you may have to make.. No other words just lots of I have had a classical C section (vertical) to deliver my premmie twins though and I have been told definitely no VBAC but subsequent pregnancies are fine.. There is a higher risk of uterine rupture and I was advised to wait at least 6 months before TTC.. Preferably a year.. I hope that helps.. I hope you don't have to go through such a heartbreaking decision.. I know this is different, but my babies survived for 8 days before having massive brain bleeds that got worse over the next 4 days.. We agonised, spoke to doctors, social workers etc before making the decision to turn off their ventilation at 12 days old as we were advised they would not have any quality of life.. It was the hardest decision..
