Thanks so much for your comments. I just have been thinking about it lately and longer recovery was my biggest worry since I have a toddler too. Sounds like it doesn't take longer tho so that's good!
I had my first in 2007 and my second in 2012 yes they cut the same scar. No the healing didn't take longer and it also seemed a lot easier on my body then the first. I will have my third march 2015. Recovery was a lot easier with the second.
Oh ok so you will be fine my last one was 2011 but I'm getting another csection and I'm content with it.just do what you think is best and hope you have a safe delivery and congrats.
I have had 4 c sections and my last one was on November 14th and it was the most painful but number 2 was ok do what's best for you!
My first was in 2011. I feel like I bounced back from it really quickly. I only stayed in the hospital for 2 days. I was just thinking that scar tissue healing would take longer to get back on my feet from.
I think it took me about the same length of time to heal with both of my csections. The difference was I knew what to expect with my second so I rested more and didnt try to push myself into cleaning house or doing errands like I did after my first so the healing process didnt seem no where near as painful
I too had a cesarean for same reason with first. Labored and it just wasn't happening. My little girl was also measuring about a week ahead at my 20 weeks anatomy scan lol so funny. I was going to try a vbac I was so 100% sure about it and then I stayed second guessing it and getting very anxious about everything etc so at 34 weeks my husband and I scheduled a repeat. I was so afraid she was going to end up stressed and stuck like my.first and end in cesarean again anyways etc. More so than that even it was a feeling a could not and still cannot explain but I just had weird feelings about and felt like I couldn't go through with it. Personal weird feelings I guess Idk. So I will be having a repeat dec 12. And didn't have to change my birth.plan at all! :-) still get delayed cord clamping, get vto give her her first bath hold her immediately etc. Im nervous but not dreading it like I was the vbac. Sometimes wonder if I made the right choice but im ok with it and much less stressed now.
Yes love they open up the same scar when did you have your 1st csection ? I'm on baby #4 and I'm having my 4th csection and I'm 25yrs old. My 1st took the longest to heal but the others was a piece of cake what I mean by heal as in able to move around and do things. Csection take years to completely heel.
