[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2308923, member: 365308"] I think you need to discuss the risk of an unplanned c section (if your baby is bigger and gets stuck) versus those of the planned section. Your consultant may be biased towards the latter because you are deemed high risk due the previous issue and your diabetes. Also if you were to have a 3rd you would most likely have to go for a c section if the protocol is that same as it was in my day (12 years ago). Your consultant is also encouraged to have vaginal deliveries so the fact they are advocating a section tells you something. All I can say is that having had 3 (was not allowed to try for a natural given the protocol for inductions for type 1s) I recovered well. The 2nd was planned and the atmosphere was calm because my son was happy and not premature or in distress We had to time to plan childcare for my daughter, husband was there (not sure if that's allowed now?) and I knew what to expect. Consequently I was and about in 2 days whereas the 1st time I tried to tough it out without pain relief and found it harder but again healed well. So in the final stretch be open about a section especially if baby has a growth spurt, and keep your blood sugars as low as possible so that you're not vulnerable to poor wound healing should you end up with a 'sun roof'!
