I’m terrified of giving birth, I actually can’t stand internal vaginal examinations either to the point where I pass out from the fear.
I haven’t ever been able to have a coil fitted, or a smear test. It’s awful, I just have a fear but I don’t think it’s tokophobia. I wouldn’t mind giving birth as such I just can’t stand the other stuff that comes with natural labour like peoples whole hand inside you
I had a planned c section and I’d have one again for another pregnancy. I didn’t make a huge song and dance about it, I just opted for that choice as it was my choice to make.
I suspect she’s getting told she’s high risk and there’s concerns etc as she’s very overweight and baby is measuring large! Plus the more sections you have the more prone you are to infection etc. It’s not nice to hear but facts are facts I guess.
“Touring” the country is not ideal at this stage of the pregnancy, she’s not a celebrity, she’s hardly going to have people fluffing her every need and making sure she’s super comfortable. She’s trekking to the likes of Liverpool and Leeds doing all the hard bits herself, and staying in dodgy cheap travel lodges - grim!
As she said though, she’s made herself the only breadwinner so hubby can do all the childcare so girl needs to get the coin (or at least try)
