Contemplating on Csec or Natural with epi

Question

I have a low pain threshold. And now at 36 weeks Ive been having constipation and having hammeroide everytime I pass motion. Im able to push it back in. Sometimes it bleeds cause I push too hard. I read its called fissure due to tear. This makes me afraid of going through natural. Anyone experience the same? And does that hinder u to go natural?

I understand the worry, especially when you're already dealing with haemorrhoids and fissures this close to delivery. Honestly, these issues don't automatically mean you can't go natural, but they do add to the discomfort you'd feel during pushing, so it's really worth discussing with your gynae or PD at KKH or whichever hospital you're booked at, because they can assess your specific situation and help you think through what's realistic for your pain tolerance and recovery. Some mums manage it fine with an epidural to take the edge off the pain, which might suit you better than going fully natural, but others do choose a C-section for peace of mind especially if they're already anxious. There's no wrong call here, just what feels right for your body and mental wellbeing.
