vaginal or c_section advise....

[lupitaB]

So I been breaking all my brain cells,on weather I should go for a c_section or vaginal labor.I had already told my doctor I'm going for vaginal labor.but I been thinking n thinking it over n over n feel that c_section its the safetest way to deliver my TWIN BOYS.just for the fact I'm having twins it scares me the possibilities of many things going wrong in the middle of labor.I've had 3vaginal deliveries were the healing was fast!
N now I wanted the same but I came to realized that I been thinking more of my recovery, than thinking what's the safetest for my boys(a Lil selfish) not my intentions but I have 3other children I couldn't c my self in bed after c_section with 3 kids running around n 2new borns..
I need some opinions if any one can help with that please.I'm close to labor so need to set my mind up!!I'm 33weeks n 3days .....

C sections are not scary and recovery is not hard. I've had 3 and have one coming up this Sat. I've had sutures, staples, and been sown up. Different with each one and recommend staples the most. Yes it's major surgery but you will be up and walking within hours of your surgery. Kinda scary for a first timer I guess but not difficult. Recovery time is like 6 weeks but it never really takes that long to be feeling good. With my first I was great within 2 weeks. Not handicap at ALL. Was taking care of my baby by myself add soon add I got home from the hospital. Second one only took a week and third one just 5 days. The key is to be active but no too active. It will speed up recovery time. Just make sure you always have a pillow around to press down in your incision when you laugh or cough or sneeze. Bc then you can tear the incision which can be bad. I've never had an infection. You won't feel the incision either bc it cuts through your nerves. They give you pain pills like Percocet but I really just took ibuprofen 800 mg and I have a low pain tolerance.. don't let people scare you about risks. There plenty of risks delivering naturally. Consider what's best for your babies. They do so many c sections and they are professionals. They clear out the babies lungs just fine when they come out. I've never had issues. Good luck

A vaginal birth is better for the babies then a c section. The fluid in their lungs gets squeezed out, which is a good thing. With a c section the fluid stays in the lungs and can cause a lot of breathing problems. Go vaginal if they're not breech!

Yeh I had a scheduled c section with first by choice.  And getting another in april. No regrets thus far. 2.5 years later

i had a csection with first cuz she was breech, the eppi caused me dramas i didnt even no could happen, my spinal fluid leaked out and caused extream migranes for bout a week and a half and not to mention healing feels like **** so hard to do anything

Hmm just get a c section everything is plannned and quickly done. The recovery is not that bad although its individually. I will get a csection instead of a vaginal without a reason...just seems more organized ...wish u luck  and to deliver the best way for u!

I would decide based on their positions.   If they are both had down then vaginal.   If one is breech than c section.

I instantly made the decision to have a scheduled section because I'm terrified of giving birth naturally to one and then having to have a section for the second anyway. I personally think its the safer option, whilst its major abdominal surgery, I'd much rather know that they'll be delivered one after the other in a safe environment then being rushed to an operating theatre after birthing one.

With twins its tricky. You could have a vaginal delivery and been fine or you could deliver 1 vaginal and then end up needing a c-section for the other (I've seen this happen before). Tough decision...make sure you weigh all options. Congrats on the twins!! And good luck.

Csections are a major surgery. I feel like drs push for them because you can schedule it and so on. There are risks with csections. My spinal tap was too high and numbed me from the lungs down so I couldn't breath. They had to put me completely under then and do an emergency csection. Scariest thing ever. It was painful to get in and out of bed. I would be in tears it hurt so bad. And finally my incision broke open and got infected. Not saying this happens a lot but when I got my epidural I was told there was a2% chance of spinal headache... I got a spinal headache. My point is not to under estimate a csection.

Oh my goodness you wouldn't believe how much we sound alike! Except the twins part. My doctor has also recommended a Csection after three vavaginal deliveries. It's such a hard decision. At first I was dead set on the vaginal bc the healing process is so quick and easy for myself and I don't see how I'm going to manage needing to take it easy for an entire month with four kids. However lately I've begun to feel I'm being completely selfish and putting my new baby at risk just bc I don't want to take so long healing and partly bc I'm just scared of the Csection. I *think* I've finally decided though that the Csection is best for my baby and I'm going to swallow my own fears and tell my doctor i just want to go with the Csection.
