I'm due to have an elective c section on Monday because I had a placental abruption and emergency c section with DD1.
However I've been in hospital for the last 24 hours as I've been having contractions every 10 mins for that time.
A senior registrar has told me I may have to have a vbac as they are very busy and may not be able to fit me in for c section.
I'm totally unprepared for this, mentally and physically, and spent months deciding whether to go for the c section or not.
I'm really worried as I have a higher risk of having another abruption having already had one and the risks of vbac after a previous c section.
The only thing I can do is hope the baby doesn't arrive before the planned c section on Monday.
Is there anything I can do to have the c section if it does arrive before Monday? I'm terrified of having another extremely traumatic birth and feel as if I'm being forced to have a vbac. I know the risks of another abruption or scar rupture are very small but they are there nonetheless. Has anyone been in a similar position?
