My cousin is 8 months pregnant. Up until about a month ago, she was opting for an elev c/s, on the grounds that she had a horrible birth experience with her 1st, and was afraid. There was no medical reason. I attended an antenatal with her, and the midwife even said to her "It sounds as though you ought to have a c/s". I have tried everything to change her mind and convince her to go vaginal, but she wouldnt. Until a month ago, someone told her it took weeks to recover (I did too, but it just didnt get through it seems). So, now we have her going vaginal, but she doesnt even believe she will go into labour. She is already wanting an induction, and is complaining because she only sees the ob fortnightly. She WANTS to see him more often. She seriously believes that there is something wrong with pregnancy and childbirth, that it is very risky and life threatening. I just dont know what to say to her. Any suggestions?
