Oh renee you poor thing sounds awful

I think you need to weigh up for yourself what you think is best for you and your family. I wouldn't go straight to an elective c/s, as some labour is best for the baby, and if you find it tough going during labour there are options available to you. It also carries more implications on further labours as you may have restrictions imposed on you.

Do you have friends or family who can help? I know how difficult it is with back pain, I was put on panadeine forte due to sacro-illiac pain which made me seize up one day, but thankfully it got a little better so I could function and the birth went fine. I would take the road of least intervention first and if you find you need more help, take baby steps until you find what you are comfy with. Take care of you xx
