moms who have had scheduled c sections

[donnabaker442]

How was your experience? I had an emergency c section with my son and I have a scheduled c section on monday to have my little girl but I am getting terrified.

[donnabaker442]

Thank you. You too!

I had an emergency c section with my first, she was 11 days late so I wanted her out. I'm now 35 weeks pregnant with my second and I've booked in for a c section. I have heard from a lot of ppl that u recovery quicker, and just feel so much better within ur self. Good luck, I can't wait.

[donnabaker442]

Thank you. I feel a lot better about it now. I just had no idea what to expect

I also forgot to add I was put under with my first, so I was sooo nervous about how being awake would be.. it's such a cool feeling during the operation, no pain at all, I didn't have any pressure either.

That was my repeat c-section experience. My first was emergency, my 2nd was amazing. Emergency and repeats are completely different, way faster healing, way less pain, way easier! I know nothing I say is going to calm your anxiety, but you'll see! It's such an awesome experience. I loved it!

That is the exact same boat I am sitting in and im terrified since it is almost monday. I just rememberhow much pain i was in but I still need ti be able to take care of my two yr old and go back to school in two weeks

I'm so glad someone else asked this bc I'm freaking out about my csection. Last time was an emergency and I was so scared I couldn't stop shaking. Afraid the same thing will happen this time.

You said that you had a vaginal delivery before your csection and that the csections were an easier recovery, How was your recovery with the vaginal birth? I am trying to decide if I should try going VBAC or just go ahead and schedule a csection in June around my due date. I like the idea of having a set date to know when baby will be here I just worry about the recovery having a 2 year old also.

I had a csection with my son March 2011 and I am hoping to go VBAC this time so we will see how the pregnancy continues to progress and decide from there. I think it would be easier to have a scheduled csection, and from what I hear the recovery isn't too bad.

I'm a ftm due June 7th but I just wanted to say congratulations nd wish u lucky... ur gonna have ur lil one so soon!! I hope it ll gos well n u have a speedy recovery:)

[donnabaker442]

Thank you and yes vbac is an option but only if I go into labor on my own before monday because of issuea with the placenta

I will be having my 4th c section in 10 weeks..second scheduled one. It is a smooth process when it is scheduled. I think everyone gets a bit nervous but it should go fine. I had one vaginal delivery before my c sections and I had easier recovery from the c sections.  And I do think recovery has been easier with each one because you know what to expect.  Good luck!

i had a emergency c sec 5 weeks ago and i really want a vbac with my next baby. was this not an option 4u?

[donnabaker442]

Okay thank you and is the recovery the second time around easier?

[jnaesco]

Me too... I had an emergency csection 7 years to have my boy and schedule this monday to have my baby girl... im so nervous... they will prob wont put you to sleep this time, when I had it done, I had a epidural...

[charletta92]

I always wanted to know as well. How is the recovery?

[tarrah87]

i had one with my daughter and going for another one in 8 weeks. its fine you will be awake. and its not that bad a lil nerve racking but stay calm and wait for that precious babies cry. you will go in more than likely get fluids and etc until they take you back get the spinal block done and prep you in the OR for surgery and it's over almost as quick as it starts lol

[missymay34]

I just had a scheduled c-section a month ago eventhough I was scared everything went smoothly. Just relax anf stay calm.

[donnabaker442]

Well they put me to sleep when I had my son so I dont remember how it went...

[thesea]

I'm.a ftm and not due till June, so I've never experienced this, but wouldn't it be the same as the first time? Except its scheduled.  So it would probaby go smoother I would think.
