Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi lauren-just wanted to talk to you for a sec-I have never had a vaginal birth-had an emergency c section and with this pregnancy (due in June too) I am having a planned c section. I just wanted to ask if you have spoke to your doctor about having a c section. I didn't do my homework bc I thought that I wouldn't need one-but things happen and I did. Mine wasn't so bad. I got sick on the operating table due to nerves bc it all happened so fast and I felt like everything was out of my control, but as soon as I heard my son cry-I was soo happy. C sections are painful, (and yes things can happen) but for me-nothing did. I healed and was back to having sex 5 weeks after. The only thing that was difficult for me was everytime I needed to sneeze or cough, etc. I had to hold a pillow to my incision bc it felt as though my insides were going to bust out. But, the doctor gives you meds to go home with, and my husband was a great help too. Personally, I saw my friend tear to her rectum and I know that that isn't something that I would want to happen again if that happened to me. I apologize that this board is of help, I too, come here for Q's or to try to help others and everytime I give my opinion or experience there are 5 others right there saying how bad it was, trying to scare people out of it. Just be open with your doc and ask the risks, complications, etc. While I was being rushed My doc was going over risks and she said the number 1 concern would be that sometimes the baby can get cut be the knife, but not too often does that happen, it didn't for me. Hope this helps!
