Hi all,
Wow it's a long time since i've been on this forum- couldn't even remember my original details.
I had a SAH 10 1/2 years ago at the age of 21 and am now almost 8 months pregnant.
My GP at the time of my SAH told me I'd never be able to have a natural birth (I've since been told my consultants this is rubbish and something he said without expert knowledge), but it's always played on my mind, given I had no symptoms whatsoever when i had my bleed and noone can confirm whether I'd had the weakness from birth or developed it.
I had a '10 year scan' in Jan of this year and everything was fine- coiling all good and no new aneurysms.
Despite being marked as low risk and being told there should be no concerns about me having a natural birth, I can't shake the anxiety.
I just wondered if anyone here has had a SAH and gone on to have a baby and whether they have any advice. I can only find a thread dating back to 2013, so apologies if I've missed one.
I would love to go ahead with a natural water birth, but at the same time I don't want to risk anything or put an unnecessary stress on myself or the baby.
Would appreciate any advice.
Thanks, Lucie
