mumzie1212`s poll Show results | Hide results


Pregnancy-poll poll Could be a silly question but I never thought about it til I am now in the situation... if you are having a c-section, my baby is breach, what happens to your cervix after your delivery? Will it have to eventually dilate, do you bleed and stuff afterwards as when you have a vaginal delivery. Do you have contractions? I guess I`m confused as to what happens?

thanks upchurchmomma for the warning, that would have freaked me out too.

Yah, you will bleed and your uterus will contract to shrink back down to size, with my last one they come in every once in a while and push around (hurts like heck) to see if it is going back down or not.....word of warning, the first time you get up after surgery, you will bleed ALOT. no one told me that and it totally freaked me out so just beware, not trying to scare you, just trying to prepare ya:) I would rather have c-section over vaginal and i`ve had both so its not that bad

yYou will bleed, you won`t feel the cramps, you cervix will not dialate to a 10, but will remain open to pass the blood and remaining tissue.

They gave me a drip to get mine to contract because I never went into labour, hurt a little but everything else was just the same as the girls have mentioned.

oooh, sounds fun, lol. i had a vaginal delivery w/ my son and never gave it much thought until now. thanks for the info, really couldn`t find much info on-line.

usually with a C section, seeing as how you have a spinal already, they will put you on pitocin to make your uterus contract more rapidly once your delivery is over... it really doesnt make a difference to you because you wont feel a thing anyway. Thats what they did with me anyway.

you can still go into labor and have contractions. your uterus contract to control the bleeding if it dont then the dr will make it! you will still bleed after the baby is born just like normal vaginal births!!! happy baby days!!

Your body will still go through the same process. You will bleed, your uterus will contract to get back to its normal size, etc. Good luck w/ your C-section.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
