j-lynn - There are natural ways to encourage baby to turn. You can do yoga positions, accupressure, accupunture and even chiropractics. If none of them work you can ask your doctor about an external version (ECV). They usually do those around 37weeks or so. Don't give up hope that baby will turn. Good Luck! luckywhite - That's crazy. I know they don't want you to get pregnant right away but to terminate? I know others that have had sections and gotten pregnant within a year of birth. They scheduled another section because they didn't want to risk the scar not being fully healed but they didn't terminate. Was there an underlying cause besides the section?

i got pregnant 5 months after a c section and was pretty miuch forced to have the pregnancy terminated as it was comromising my health.. i was devestated

I have had 2 c-sections, and this will be my third. I was given the option of a vbac for my second delivery and for this one, but after a ton of research there were too many risks involved with doing a vbac in my situation. My c-section this time around is booked just 1 day prior to my due date, so fingers crossed we make it that far. Otherwise I will go into labour and do a c-section as soon as we arrive at the hospital, the only downfall is that it most likely will not be my OB performing it. Which sucks.....My recovery was pretty good after my c-sections. I did run into some complications 2 weeks PP after #2 but they weren't necessarily related to the c-section itself.

Yeah, I dont know exactly what i will do. im fine with having another csection i dont mind. my doctor and my local hospital say once a c section always a csection but i do have the bikini cut. so idk. I guess we will just go with the flow. But i have a long way to go !! : )

It's always a 'trial of labor'. It's how the phrase it because they never know what's going to happen during labor. I do have to sign a consent form saying that I know there is a potential risk, even if it is extremely low. It also says that if I need a section that I'll let them. But of course I don't think I will need one. It's just the hospital covering their own butts.

katyjones12 - The newest studies show that the risks are sooo low. Uternie ruptures only occur with a classic section. If you had a bikini cut then you should be fine. I would point this out and look up these studies. Research suggests that it is still safer for mom and baby to go into labor and deliver vaginally then to just schedule a second section. That is of course if your section wasn't because of a medical reason. I know a lady that has two cervical openings. When one would contract the other didn't and it literally was squeezing her daughter. It's not something they knew about until birth. Any furture children will be born by cesarean. But a breech baby or like mine because I couldn't stand the rash any longer and my body wasn't going into labor then I'm fine. Sounds like position was why you had your last one. That is no reason for a section in my book. Depending on your circumstances I would look at if it's hospital policy or your doctor's. If it's just your doctor I would contact others to see about what they'd do. Of course, some moms don't care so if you are fine with another section then go for it. I'm not. Even though I like my doctor I would have switched if she wouldn't allow me to go completely natural.

HEY LADIES. WELL I HAD A CSECTION WITH MY DAUGHTER WHEN I WAS 18 YRS OLD. SHES NOW ALMOST 2 YRS OLD AND MY HUSBAND AND I FOUND OUT THAT I AM 5 WEEKS PREGNANT WITH OUR SECOND BABY. WE ARE SO PLEASED.A ND THE HOSPITAL AND DOCOR I SEE WONT ALLOW US TO DO A VBAC BECAUSE OF THE RISKS, I AM HOWEVER NERVOUS BECAUSE IM AFRAID OF THE RECOVERY, I HAD A C SECTIONW ITH MY DAUGHTER AFTER 30 + HOURS OF HARD LABOR, AND SHE WAS FACE UP AND THERE WAS NO WAY SHE WOULD COME OUT WITHOUT HURTING ME AND NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE MORE KIDS. SO THEY HAD TO.. AND MY RECOVERY SUCKED! SERIOUSLY IT WAS HORRIBLE. AND THIS TIME I KNOW IS GOING TO BE HELL, WE LIVE IN AN UPSTAIRS APARTMENT.. AND A 28 POUND 2 YEAR OLD. UGH!! HAHAA BUT I KNOW IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT! : )

If anyone's worried about c-sections I think they're all different for everyone. I was scared to death of one, went for an induction I didn't want and my baby almost instantly was in distress. They threw my bed back and charged me down the hall. Awful experience. But the surgery? No problems after. Except bladder control for the first two weeks (I couldn't feel my bladder until I had to go THEN- I peed on the hospital floor the first day *laughing* and after that scheduled hourly sits on the toilet). I was up and down the stairs, bending to the floor after a few days, and before 3 weeks carried home my 40 pound rescue puppy (can't wait til she's grown- 40lbs at 4 MONTHS... Uhg). My mother was displeased by seeing me carrying her, but I found it better than leaning over to drag her. It hurt to laugh, cough, sneeze, but other than that I mostly felt fine. I even have almost all of the prescription-strength motrin and never took a percoset. I had a really hard time with seeing my incision, though. That was traumatic for me. Unbelievably it's nothing, and way below my bikini line. It's healing beautifully. I would definitely recommend talking to your drs about the type of incision they perform and what sort of anestesia they do. The spinal I had was pretty ok. I'm one month out, and there is still tenderness and weakness, but I feel very blessed with my recovery.

armywife7 - I'm on my second pregnancy and never felt pain or more stretching. I don't know if it's because I got pregnant 17months PP or because I'm not gaining as much as I did last time. I know that many feel a tenderness around the scar but I've never felt that either. I wouldn't be surprised that what you are feeling is normal.supermammy123 - Sorry I haven't a clue? I am working on number 2 but planning a VBAC so I hoping that I'll have the one section under my belt and all others will be vaginal.

armywife7 - 843 days ago.
is anyone pregnant again after a previous c-section and find that in this one... the 'stretching' is more painful or sensitive?

i had a cs with my first, it was an emergency cs after 22 hours of labor, they found out he was breech and he was almost ten lbs so there was no turning him. i was really upset at that time bc i had wanted nothing more than a natural birth but things happen. now with my second i chose cs over vbac. i feel it is safer for baby and me. and its true, no matter how baby comes, as long as they are healthy it is worth it!!

Ending up wtih a healthy infant is the most magical experience. I had some people after my first child ask me if I wanted to trying giving birth the normal way next time to which I asked what's normal? Many women have c sections including my grandmother during the second world war, it's not new or abnormal.

Crystal80 - 853 days ago.
OK for all who are having a c.s. or have had one (or two or more) I will speak from experience. Giving birth is a wonderful experience. whether you deliver vaginally or c.s. It makes no difference on how your little one comes in the world, It is a special time. It does not make you more of a mother to deliver vaginally... It does not make you a weak person to deliver via c.s. Speaking from experience I will say that my second c.s. was wonderful, i was up walking around within hours, I guess because I knew what was going to happen, or how i would feel. the recovery is harder for a c.s. But in the end holding your baby is worth all the pain... and you will soon forget it by the time you first see your baby's smile. I will be having my third c.s. in May. Best wishes to all babies born via c.s. !!

Hi Ladies, I have 4 children but have had 5 c-sections, I also had my tubes tied but am looking tinto having it reversed has anyone had the reversal and if so was it successful?

secondchance - 869 days ago.
I just bought some c-panties...there is a silicone panel right over the incision site that is supposed to aid in healing...also it has compression (at the incision and above) that helps with discomfort and holding everything in. Can't wait for them to get here!

I had a c/s a little over a week ago. I can't sneeze!! lol It hurts too much! Otherwise, it wasn't bad at all. Pretty dearn sore the first couple of days, but just make sure you stay on top of your meds and its tolerable! Now if I could just figure out how to sneeze gently....

I also had a C Section and it went really well! the drs and nurses were great and my dh got to hold our son and take pics... and then he went with the baby to the nursery while they finished sewing me up... then once i was in recovery they brought my son to me..it was great! to hold him!! and even though he had to go to the nursery first, it wasnt bad at all.. i still felt connected to him even though his first hour was spent in the nursery

I had a c section and it was awesome! I had no complications. i was up and moving the second day. I am diabetic and over weight and it still went well! The only thing I hated was not getting to hold my baby right away.... They whisked her away from me and I was in recovery for some time before i got to see her. This was the nurses fault though, not the surgery!
