Hello all,
I guess that most of you will now be aquainted with my story
so I was hoping that you could answer a couple of questions.
I have had two obstetricians tell me that I should not/must not have anymore
babes.
When I sought the second opinion ( which was just a few weeks ago) I was
told by the ob. that where the scars on my uterus meet ie at the junction
of the 'T',
there is increased weakness and therein lies a greater chance of UR in late
pregnancy and/or labour.
He said that even if I made it safely to 36 weeks and had an elective
c.section there would still be the possibility of that whopping, big
venous sinus being in the way again.
He suggested that history could repeat itself.
He went on to say that if I were to get pregnant again he would 'ideally'
like me to move to my closest capital city and live within 5 minutes of a
major hospital.
He said, " Sonia, why would you want to do that to yourself?
Is another pregnancy worth the risk?"
I was so blown away by the terror he was implanting that any research that I
had done regarding UR went sailing straight out of my head.
I know that I will never be able to VBAC.
I just can't accept that having another babe is not an option anymore and
that I'm not even a candidate for an elective c.section.
So, my questions are :
1. While disregarding the dramatics, do you think that the advice given
was sound or was it the mere product of an ob. covering himself?
2. If the later applies, does anyone know of an ob. or specialist surgeon
that is a little braver and would be willing to give me an opinion which is
not based on the number of children that I already have and not one of fear?
I will travel interstate if I have to.
I'd appreciate any advice.
With love and many thanks,
Sonia. (SAS)
