I would like your opinion......
I am 35 this year I have 1 child who is 2 1/2. My husband and I would like 4 in total. I feel like I am in a really good place at the moment mentally.
My energy is low but if I pace well I prevent collapses.
If my next scans are clear (MRI and EEG), we would like to have another baby this year.
However I do not want to be set back dramatically. But at the same time I do not want to leave getting pregnant too long. I have read posts about noise toleration not being great with PCS but I am also concerned about having a C-section.
Will my PCS be affected by an operation like that with possible anesthesia useage? I do not want to ever experience labour again. My last birth was 34 hrs, the epidural didn't work and 4 weeks later I nearly died because someone had left placenta inside me and I bled out at home. So a C-section is my only option.

I am a 36 yr old female who has played football, as a hobby, for 13 yrs. In July 2012, during a game I was slammed to the floor by two angry guys who hit into me so hard that one of them broke their ribs.
This knocked me back onto hard ground leaving me unconscious. I awoke to chronic head and neck pain, sickness and the inability to see or balance.
The paramedics made me walk to the ambulance, instead of placing me on a spinal board, where I was taken to the ER. I was hospitalised with suspected brain hemorrhage for 1 week, then on complete bed rest for 1 month, in a wheelchair for 2 months.
I have been left with PCS, moderate constant head pain, little short term memory, no memory of the accident, balance and sight problems, depression and exhaustion.
The worst problem is collapsing regularly. This has finally been diagnosed as Hemiplegic Migraines , these cause my brain to regularly shut down when I am tired and I then feel the full effects of a stroke (without the bleed on the brain!!) of which the symptoms last 2-4 days.
I have had 6 CT's, 2 MRI's and am under 3 specialists.
I believe everyday is one more towards improvement. Mainly I believe in the power of acceptance not the weakness of complacency or resignation.
