My vertical incision split before it fully healed. My husband had to pack the wound twice a day until it healed...about 6 weeks PP. Then I had it cut open again 15 weeks PP during a separate surgery. It actually looks fine now... almost a year later. It is just a thinish purple line.

Robin- she had a hysterectomy also thats why it was the vertical incision. Her first two were bikini line c-sections.

Placenta accreta is usually accompanied by placenta previa. It is when your placenta deeply attaches to the uterus so much so that it causes haemorrhaging when the placenta detaches from the uterus. The placenta can grow all the way through the uterus and into other organs, in my case the doctors believe it has grown into my bladder. If you have placenta accreta and doctors know it you are guaranteed a c-section. My doctors believe the safest way to prevent uncontrollable haemorrhaging is to do a hysterectomy.

what is placenta accreta? I have an anterior placenta. Is it similar?

Thats interesting, I had my first section 13.5 years ago and it was bikini line and not vertical (())

My MIL had a verticle incision. She healed pretty quickly but does have quite the scar. This was 14 years ago though.. I`m sure the methods that they do them these days are totally different!

  1. Thanks to my twin`s ability to trek down here, my records are straightened out! I will be having my first appointment on February 29th. I will be 10 weeks-ish. Around here that is about when they want to see you. When did you get your first appointment?
  2. What do you think is better (or worse) for kids? TV or video games?
  3. I`m interesed in getting an innotab for my kids. Are the extra downloads pricey? How is the product as a whole?
  4. Thought they were fixing the problem with the profiles? Mine is now starting to disappear and most of my friends profiles are gone. Is it getting fixed or what because its more than a joke at the moment. Maybe its the ads causing the problems because its the only thing that seems to stay when the profiles disappear.
  5. If you had a `favourable` cervix (started to dilate and soft) did a membrane sweep work for you?
  6. Should I buy my sister a Belly Bandit for her shower? She said that is what she wanted when I asked. I just have a hard time spending that much money on some thing she might niot like. Especially because it was me who put the dumb :) idea in her head!! I bought and used one for three out of my four and loved it...but is it for everyone? Or should I throw down the money to something more practical?
  7. Are your children exposed to two hours or less of TV per day? (This includes when your shows are on and they are awake and around at the same time in the same room)


  8. Just finished making a birthday cake for the first time from our baby girl for her daddys bday tomorrow :o)
  9. Extension of last Valentine question..I should clarify that we are having V-day dinner tomorrow alone but still just the fact that he bought our gifts at the same time at the same place bugs the s-it out of me. He knows I like plants and I`m pretty sure he went to a nice nursey and got me one but the fact is he told me he got his mom a small little plant. OMG I fee like I total b-tch but I feel like telling him I know what he probably got me and I do not want anything that you are giving your mom!! But then he wopuld know I snooped and saw where he went on our checking account.
  10. O.k I know this is a off the wall question..Is it weird and selfish of me to be annoyed that my husband has is giving his mom a Vanetine gift and card tonight when she comes over and wants to give me mine too today? I know I`m probably being sensitive and I feel bad that I made the comment `if you give me the same thing as your mom I`m gonna cry`. He said I should`nt ruin the surprise and I told him I was sorry but I just wanted our Valentines seperate because everything includes his family and it`s a day for lovers. Am I....
