Hi Becky, all the best with your decision. My little man was also vacuum assisted cos he was in distress. One thing I will say about having the second bub is that I was much more assertive about what I did and didn't want (I was however flexible with this if the need arose for medical reasons). His birth story is here Oskar Levi's birthing journey if you would like to read it. I also did hypnobirthing which teaches relaxation methods etc and I found this invaluable.

I found that I asked more questions and gained more information before making my decisions. You will possibly be the same and I encourage that. Keep us updated on your journey
