Pregnancy Info HOME

Thanks Charlotte for asking Olga to speak to me,I was just browsing this site.It is true,I have had both births.Olga,the vaginal one was far worse.on't let people tel you that always a natural birth you recover quicker from.I was scared whilst prgnant,but thought the pain meds,I'd be fine,after all it is natural,people in other countries do not have the choice.It was the worst pain of my life.I thougt it could ot get any worse,and it did.At one point I felt like my legs were being ripped in two.The pain medication being offered did not really do anything,I was sick.Horrendous.To top all,they said at my next contraction they would do a small cut,I would not feel it....yes I did.They say when the baby is born the pain is gone.I was sore down there,and as its in a difficult place had not idea how bad,it hurt when I moved.In comparassion,I said,I would never get pregnant again,unless I had a section.I did,athough anxious,what a difference,everything planned,felt no pain nor was I tired when the baby entered the world.The pain afterwards was manageable with the pain meds.No where near as bad.I could see the scar,saw it getting better,unlike my other cut.Even though this was a op,not a cut,it helped seeing it improving.You say you are worried about your muscles.an elective section,as I'm sure you know,is better than an emergency,the muscles where they can be,are stretched apart,not cut,certainly the two large muscles are not cut...not in my case,because it was elective,more time,easier recovery.I now have a flat tummy,and a scar that is hardly noticable.I really woyld recommend a section out of the two from my experience.
