aileen-I got general for my previous two sections. Freezing just doesn't work for me. In fact my anesthesiologist in my first section (after the epidurals didn't work) said freezing doesn't work for everyone. It's your choice, and your body. I have no problems with general though. One nurse who was so nasty about me having general came up to me after the surgery and apologized. She said she had never seen anyone come out of general so well.

Hello Ladies .. I am really really nervous, hopeing maybe someone can put my mind at ease. I am due for my 2nd c section on July 13 my last was July 03 last year. They just seem sooo close, I actually still feel like I am still recovering last years as I still feel discomfort down there. Has anyone has c sections this close ?

My c-sections were 18 months apart, I had no issues or complications....just a longer recovery period the second time around.

Hi, I've been on the site for a little over a year but haven't posted much but I have a question...I have had 2 c-sections, 10 years apart and now Im expecting again (10 weeks) and my last c-section was only 7 months ago. I was just wondering how close some of your c-sections have been and if there were any complications with them. Also both times i have had a traditional cut (up and down). Just trying to put some of my fears to rest, I have been hurting around my belly button beside my incision pretty bad and I don't go back to the Dr until next Friday. Thanks to all and I hope your pregnancies are going great!

Im due to have my 2nd csection on july 10th. im getting really nervous b/c the last time after about 2 days, i started spiking high fevers every 2-3 hours, and chills. The drs said i had an infection or something, but after all the testing they couldnt find out from where. im just really scared that it will happen again! Anyone else experience this or know someone who did?

i just had my 4th csection on thursday (5 days ago) and it took longer for them to do the spinal this time than it did with any of the others... at least 20 minutes of poking around. it HURT... but once they finally got the medicine in, it was all good. i dont remember though if the incision/scar site is suppose to itch, and be kinda hard this soon after the surgery, any thoughts on this?

I had my c-section May 25 I am very excited about being a c-section mommie but I can say its a little different each time... By the way the Dr. that assitsted my Dr. had my husband look over the curtain to see my bowels.... I may not be spelling it right but that was weird... My husband said later that he knows he loves me and I asked why and he said I had the cuties bowels he has ever seen...

I am having my c-section the 26th of June. I have to be at the hospital a 5:30 am. What time do you think the actual surgery will take place? Also how long did you have to stay in the hospital?

I just had my baby 4 1/2wks ago and I'm still recovering. I can say that my 2nd time has taken me longer to heal than my 1st. But I will say that I'm older, and I had gained more weight with this baby so I do believe that plays apart. I was very nervous, but it was all over before I knew it.

*sarahcourtney* I am scheduled for my third c-section Aug 24. I was nervous with my second one as well, but in all honesty, I am not quite sure if it took longer than my first or not. It all goes so fast anyways, after the baby is out you kind of lose track of time. I believe recovery for me was the same as my first, about an hour. I am a little nervous third time around, but not really bad. I think just normal jitters. Don't worry, everything will be fine!! :-)

I am having a repeat c-section on May 29th and I am so scared. My last section went ok but for some reason I am really scared this time. I'm nervous about the actual surgery, not so much the recovery. I have heard that a second section takes longer and may have more bleeding. Anyone have any comments? How long was your second surgery? Also, if everything goes well how long do you stay in the recovery room after? I cant remember

aileen my last spinal block was pretty painless. I held the nurses hand and bent over her ... everything went numb and I haven't had any problems

yeah I guess it may just have to be I have a while to go yet anyway. Sorry if I put anyone off by talking about my bad experiences.

alineen- You can get a general but if you do... your partner/hubby will not be able to attend the birth... Also there are side affects to the general... I was sick and there is nothing that hurts more than to throw up after having tummy surgery...and my throat was sore... like someone took a rake to my thoart.... metal

joyce49788 - 1001 days ago.
aileen... i dont think they do general anesthesia(put you under) unless it is a dire emergency, just because it not only effects you but makes baby groggy too which puts baby at risk for slow breathing and low apgar scores... the effect that the spinal had on you during your delivery of your now 6 yr old could be because of the anesteciologist(sp?) and the way he/she administered the spinal.... i have had 3 csections and getting ready to go in (in 6 days) to have my 4th and last... out of the 3 i had 2 spinals and 1 epidural... none of them were too bad. although after my youngest who is almost 7 i was having some pretty bad sciatic pain (couldnt stand up by myself without pain, would hurt if i sit too long, i was limping for awhile cause of it....) but after a few weeks it went away and i havent felt anything like it since... if you are having another csection you might not have a choice as to the way they numb you to do the surgery... but ask them, the worst they can do is tell you NO WE CANT PUT YOU TO SLEEP.... but they may be able to take extra precaution as to HOW they administer the spinal/epidural to you this time... good luck and dont stress too much.. your baby is what is important and if it means you or i have to go through a little more discomfort to bring these miracles into the world... than so be it.

Has anyone who has had a section found getting the spinal very painful? My first time around I got a pain along the bottom of my back and down one leg that felt like an electric shock and I had severe back pain for a few days after also. infact I still get sciatic pain if I stand for longer than a few minutes and my daughter is nearly 6. I am actually tthinking of asking them to knock me out and wake me at the end I don't know if they would go for it though.

Tell me ladies Im trying to pack for the hospital and I have to remember what to pack... I have the basic and I was thinking maybe we as c-section moms should have a theme... like for our hospital stay.... that may make it less scary... I thinking about the song Baby I'm A Star... by Prince.. you know spice things up alittle... lol I found footies and socks with stars all over them.... Play the song in the operating room and trying to create a more relaxed and all about me delivery..

Summer- Tummy tucks are great! I have had 2 make sure when you find your cosmet. doctor that he will give you a warranty... yes a warranty so you can go back up to a year with very little charge or no charge to repair what you dont like about your tummy... I am still under warranty...lol

joyce49788 - 1005 days ago.
i will be having my 4th csection either May 28 or June 1... havent gotten that figured out yet... it is scheduled for the 1st, but doc is looking at maybe bumping it up to the 28th due to how many csections there are already scheduled for the 1st...lol i will then be going in on July 16th to have a hernia repair as i ended up with a hernia after my last csection and then 4 months after it was repaired it was back worst than it was to begin with...so that needs to be fixed. it is the same incision line...lol so when it is all said and done i will have had 6 surgeries at the same location... WOW!!!! anyhow good luck to those who are getting ready for a section and happy healing to those who have recently had one done...

The recomended time after a c-section for driving is 2 weeks. Not any sooner. It has nothing to do with how you are feeling, but everything to do with the fact that your muscles need the time to heal. Stepping on the break a little too hard could cause your incision to burst open. Just take it easy and follow DR's orders.....

Hello! The dr has told me to get prepared for a c section. I am freaking out a little! Please tell me good things about it!

Indigo-yeah I have lost some feeling in my lower belly as well...wonder twins unite!... ;-) I am really hoping it goes well, this is the most scared I have been for a surgery. I am already a hormonal basket case..I guess having a baby will do that lol

indigocream - 1006 days ago.
Yes I was talking to you, Im sorry that I did not mention your name... but I do understand your concerned this is my 6th C and I have had two tummy tucks and my right ovary and my left tube removed.. So I clearly understand your concerns... What happen to me is that I have almost no feeling in my lower tummy... I guess that is one of my super powers...lol... anywho good luck with your hormones... thats a crazy roller coaster ride.

pygmalin - 1007 days ago.
indigocream-I am assuming you where repliying to me? We were aware I needed the surgery before I even concieved but during the C I had a bleeding issue and We dicded it would be wiser to wait..but now it is very needed..But I will still have my overies so hormone changes will not be to bad...but I am concerned about the recovery time. This will be my third surgery in the exact same spot..and I heard it is extreemly painful. And if you weren't talking to me..well then aren't I a silly one..lol... ;-)

this c section has been a mess- i now have a staph infection which slows your healing and adds to the pain-it has never been an easy surgery-im so mad i didnt just choose to have them vaginally -two pushes and i could have been done,now its been a week and i still cant even miss a med time or ill pay
