csection

[margueritebrayden]

Ok.. So my obgyn said that if both of my babies are not head down, that i would have a c section.. I would rather have the babies vaginally.. I am terrified of having a csection.. Will I have an ugly tummy?? Will it hurt for a long time? Can I breastfeed if I am on pain meds? I mean I'll do whatever it takes for my babies.. I'm just scared of things I've never experienced..

aside from stretch marks, the scar isn't even noticeable after one or two years. I hope your babies move into the right positions! csections aren't fun at all, but you can do everything normally except getting up and sitting down is a little more strenuous! good luck!

I had a painful 6 month long recovery, but it's all just on how your body reacts to the procedure. I was 24, very active, worked up until 39.5 weeks with a perfect pregnancy, and had the best doctor in town. It's just a roll of the dice, just like having back pains after an epidural...
Just make sure you have a birth plan worked up and you should be fine. I was in bed for a long time after the surgery because I was given a drug that causes drowsiness. (I literally would fall asleep while talking to people the whole first day.) I have since learned that you can request a nondrowsy drug instead.
Also, the hospital did not allow immediate breastfeeding (in the OR), but as soon as I was wheeLed into recovery I was allowed to. You just have to tell your doctor what you will want (for if it does happen) and you may have to work around the hospitals restrictions.

I would do anything for my girls, I am just scared.. I didn't know if your tummy looked like a crumpled piece of bacon for the rest of your life.. Stupid I know to think of such

T scar is so low. Let's just say they have to shave you before because it's so low. And you can do whatever a vaginal birth allows you just can't move as fast or as well. I will be having my 3rd soon I have no choice :-( but I don't mind as long as my babies are healthy and safe.

I'll be having my 3rd and you have a scar but the way I look at it is that's my beauty mark from my babies. I hurt for about two - three weeks then I start feeling better. I fed both of my kids when I came out of recovery.  No one ever wants one but we all do what's best for our kids. Good luck momma
