    Mudbath is the one to chat to about that one!

    My mother said her hysterectomy was the best thing she ever had done.. she never realised how ill she was until after it was done and she felt better!
    my mum would say exactly the same, she had similar issues to Valli and had a hysterectomy at just over 40.

    Thanks for all the vibes etc. I do agree with PenPen and others that I don't want a big op just for the sake of it, I know there are risks and recovery time etc. It's just the conflicting advice which is hard...midwife says section, consultant not so sure. I'd resigned myself to one thing and now suddenly things have changed! :o

    Anyway, sorry to take the thread off topic, didn't mean to :( I am sure baby will come out one way or another and all will be fine.

    Hugs my dear and posi-vibes for the right decision.
    Please don't apologise.
