Hiya,

So as I have GD and after being scanned 4 times in 8 weeks they have determined that her little tum is just growing WAY too fast and is now off the charts, so I have been advised by my OB that we should really get her out next week. I have read all the articles etc about this and as my main priority is getting her out healthy, and it is obvious that dispite me thinking I am controlling my sugar well, too much is still getting through to her, so I am fine with this even though it is definitely not what I was planning.

I had a natural ish birth with DS however I did end up with a vacume extraction at the end and this resulted in a lot of damage to my pelvic floor which has wrecked my sex life and involved some very 'personal' physio in order for me to even be able to have sex at all (even though I get no pleasurable sensation at least it is not unbearably painful now.).

So my question (sorry to be so long winded!) is this, am I better off to let them pump me full of sytocin with the increased likelyhood of needing an epi and another assisted delivery, plus the concern that if she really is big getting more damage 'down there' on the way out, or should I just op for a c/s which will at least not damage me any further.

I am thinking better in terms of the effect on my hormones (ability to bf, risk of pnd etc) the effect on my body and the effect on my baby.

Any thoughts much appreciated!
