Elective c-section again?
With my first baby I had to have a c-section (decided elective around 18 - 20 weeks) cuz I had an issue down there š. Itāll be 4 1/2 years since by the time baby comes and Iām really wanting a vaginal birth for this baby but Iām torn between electing another c-section or vaginal cuz my husband is a long distance truck driver. Iām worried that he wonāt be able to make it for the birth, so Iām really debating another c-section. Iām also scared of a rupture.
What would you do? Iām only 13 weeks 3 days but I almost feel like an elective c-section might be the best way to go for hubby to be there and be home for a full 2 weeks with us!
Edit
I should add my mom was never able to deliver any of me or my 4 sisters naturally, and my 4 sisters have all had c-sections as well. 4 c-sections for 2 do my sisters, 3 c-sections for 1 of my sisters and 1 c-section for my other sister. Iām not sure if itās just our body types that canāt make it through labour and delivery and canāt dilate properly. So thatās also a worry. Iām 5 feet and before I got pregnant I was only 94lbs. With both pregnancyās.
