I have a 2 1/2 year old little girl. My pregnancy with her was perfect! Then it cam to delivery and EVERYTHING went wrong! She was born by emergency c-section, testing postive for group B strep, and meconinium asspriation (she inhaled a bowel movement in uterto) and spent a month in the NICU. I'm terrified of going through that agian! I want another baby and so does my husband but I am completly TERRIFED of going through that agian! BTW, I have to have another c-section because of the way they had to do the first and I will be ATLEAST 2 weeks early because of that so the chances of those things happening agian are slim, but the were slim to begin with!

Ask yourself if you want your daughter to be an only child. I had to get over the fear when I answered "no" to that question. It's not easy...we would consider adoption next time for the same reasons. Second baby was okay in the long run...

completely wide-spread. i think an same way. My little lady is 6 years previous and that i appreciate her a lot. i'm due in 4 weeks with a touch boy and that i ask your self if i will connect as a lot as I easily have with my little lady. i have examine that once the toddler is born, you'll connect instantly away and the affection will improve. I plan to breastfeed which will make the bonding experience even stronger. you would possibly want to prefer to think about breastfeeding as well to make the bond at the same time with your second baby stronger too. desire this facilitates.

If you have to have a c-section again it won't be as rushed as the first one will be it will be scheduled and they can give meds right before your c-section for group B strep so the baby can't get it. I think you need to talk to your obgyn and see what the risks are for you/ your baby and weigh them out. Good luck with your decision

If you want to feel as good as you can, then I recommend you research REPEATED instances of diseased birth, to find out if already having had problems makes you more or less likely to have them again!
My parents didn't have another kid because they were afraid he'd turn out like me! Born at 7 months with necrotizing entocolitis and with no platelets(!), first baby west of the Misissippi in my condition ever to survive, contracted hepatitis by a blood transfusion and almost got HIV the same way.
I was supposed to be "mentally disabled".

I'll bet you'll be fine, because now you can prepare in advance. You'll be going in early so there won't be any emergencies. My husband says being an only child sucks, so don't do that to your little girl if you can help it. Good luck and I'm sure you'll be great.

If everything went wrong then you are 100% more likely to go a little in the right direction if you change hospitals and doctors.

Why do you "need" to have a second baby? Isn't one enough? Have you thought about adopting? There are lots of little kids that don't have mommies and daddies that need a good home.

I have a better question:
Do you have a stable husband and a stable relationship to bring here home to? If you don't you are not acting responsibly. I am sorry you had problems with your first. Good luck.

Anything can go wrong with any pregnancy. Don't let fear stand in your way of happiness. Too many people do that. You don't want to look back on your life and ask "What if????"
