C-section?

Anyone due in January and has to have a c-section? I'm due January 9 and will have first c-section at 34-36 weeks due to placenta previa. (Hopefully we will make it that far).hoping for late November baby as long as she's healthy!

Im not due in january this time but my first son was an I had to have a last minute csection... good luck with everything! It is scary at least for me. It was an awful recovery as well. Im hoping to have a vbac as well this time around im due December 18th. I want a vbac more than anything!!!

Thanks. It's a harder decision for the vbac then having him in there. But I had a vaginal with him in 2010 so the.doctors say having a successful vaginal birth before makes my chance of a successful vbac alot greater.  I hope you have a Good experience with your section!  The recovery I had from mine was horrible it's another reason I want a vbac.

Omg thats crazy I wouldn't be able to handle that.. He sounds like one brave kid! :)

My five year old still thinks babys are born by a doctor taking them out your belly - or buying them in a store (her adopted friend was told she was bought in a baby shop and told my daughter).

I guess being honest is best policy but I couldn't explain it yet lol.

I hope you get to vbac ♡

Depends how he does. He is pretty Good with stuff he helps my husband gut deer and butcher our goats and chickens. He has also seen a video of a actual c section and thought it was awesome. I think his only.problem wouldn't be seeing me in pain. But I also think him being there would help.me suck it up and put on a.brave face for him.of I flat think I'd.let him actual look at my vagina or anything but sit at the table near my head.
