[QUOTE="Ellie_Wilko, post: 1892574, member: 278560"] I was induced at 37weeks with my first and he was born 4 days later via emergency csection. They did manage to break my waters and get me into labour but was labouring for 12 hours and only got to 3cm - his heart rate started to drop with contractions and everything stopped as soon as I was taken off the drip so my body just really wasn’t responding to it at all! The surgeon said after he was delivered that he was still so high up the induction would never have worked so theatre would have realistically been the only option. The second with my elective was so easy! I knew the exact day I was going in so could sort arrangements for my son, as it wasn’t an emergency I only had to stay 1 night after and recovery was a million times better than the first. I had to go in 2 days before my section to have steroids but again knew exactly when it would be so could get everything prepared in advance. I am sad that I won’t get to experience a natural birth but I am also glad I made the decision for an elective as it took all the pressure off the whole situation and was really laid back and felt I was in control second time round! Good luck with whatever choice you make xx [/QUOTE]
