OT: rhogam/c section advice

[Guest guest]

Dear Listmates,

I am encountering some interesting times here and would love some advice.

I am due with #3 in April. I had 2 c sections previously.

Should I try for a unmedicated vbac? Would the concequences of medical

intervention during a vbac be more harmful than a scheduled c section? I had

previous c sections due to severe SPD - pelvic joint pain - which is

already rearing its ugly head now, I don't even know if I can delivery

vaginally.

Drugs post c section? I am gluten, dairy, soy and egg intolerant (finding

out after my children's sensitivities). I am pretty sure I have some Hg (no

current fillings, but had one a long time ago.. and my son is mercury toxic

per hair test analysis, currently chelating). I had T3 /oxycontin (sp?)last

time, which I would like to avoid due to the glutathione lowering effects..

I imagine they give me antibiotics as well.. I have probiotics ready for

that.. and I am currently taking 2 cuturelles/day.

Rhogam shot? I declined the 28 week one. I was spared the ones after birth

with both my son and daughter as they are rh negative (my hubby is

heterozygous). If I have a c section, there will be blood mixing and if the

baby is positive then I guess I get sensitized? No more babies? We are not

sure where we are in terms of family size yet, I would hate to shut the

door, but don't want to be foolish either. I had rhogam with my son at 6.5

weeks and 28 weeks pregnant. It did give me some joint issues. I know there

is no mercury in the shot, and the other ingredients don't look too bad but

I am as antivax as they come. My daughter has had none. I know it can stir

up immune issues (since I am celiac - gene testing positive and postitive

IgA's per enterolab's testing) which may be an issue.

What would you do?

Thanks!
