this is my 3rd pregnancy and twice i have tried for a normal birth and after 48hours of labour then nt dilating past 4cm iv had emergency c-sections. this time i have no choice i cnt even try for a vaginal birth and have to have a planned section and i am sooooooo scared.

Jody most likely you wont have your milk yet to be able to express anything, although you can try. I started leaking colostrum pretty early in pregnancy but still i dont think i have enough to actually express. all of it comes rushing in as soon as the baby is out like your body just knows. cdoyle i had an emerg c section with my son 2 years ago, now im scheduled for my repeat c section this friday coming so i will let you know if its better in terms of recovery, i really hope so cuz the pain i remember made me say i would never have any more children lol look at me now right.

Hi ladies, I am having a scheduled cesarean in 16days. I had a cesarean with my son 2 years ago but I certainly wasn't ready for it! I thought for sure I was going to deliver vaginally. Oh well, plans change. QUESTION: I was wondering if anyone ever heard of trying to express milk/colostrum a few weeks prior to a cesarean to make it easier to feed the new babe?? Any other advice on preparing for a cesarean would be great!!! Thanks ladies, Jody

supermammy123- Please think about it really carefully i had my 1st c section 22nd October 2008 my 2nd c section 22nd December 2009 and now im having a c section on the 22nd Jan 2011, its hard work belive me my 9month old and nearly 2 year old dont understand not to jump all over me and the stretching on the scar so soon can be a bit painful. so far its not too bad but when i think of my body and how messed up it is it scares me to think 3 sections in 3 years is a big deal! if i was you i would wait at least a year of two at least before having anymore because this is my 3rd section the doctors are begging me to have a hysterectomy and im only 23! so if you want more children and need a section space it out that way you really get to enjoy your babies! I hope this helps

My last c-section was an emergency c-section. Recovery was HORRIBLE. I'm not sure if it was b/c I labored with no meds for 14 hrs before that, or b/c of the nature of the surgery. Anyway, now I'm due with baby #2. I can opt for a vbac if I choose, or I can do another c-section. For those that have been through it, is the recovery from a planned c-section any easier than an emergency c-section? I'm sure the circumstances have SOME sort of play in the recovery.

I had an emergency c/s with my first child after 54 hours of labour. My incision did not heal well I never got an infection but it was not pretty and it was done in August and in November there were still open spots along the incision it was awfull. I am now almost 8 weeks pregnant with my second and will be having a second c/s I am to scared to try a V-back.

Ive just been reading all your c-section stories. Ive had 2 sections and due to have a 3rd in December. I had 2 very different experiences so far, !st one was an emergency, 2nd one wasnt. The 2nd one was so much less traumatic. Both were done under a general but number 3 will be with a spinal, getting a bit worried as the time gets nearer, had an epidural with the 1st one which didnt take effect. Any advice greatly appreciated. Good luck to everyone!

Hi all... just had my first csection with my twin boys on the 4th. It wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. The spinal wasnt to bad the only part that hurt was the local that they give first and the whole procedure was done in about 45 mins. The first 2 days after were the worst and I could hardly move but its not to bad now :)... best of luck to those who are having a csection

I am 20 weeks preg and will be having my 3rd c-section the week of 10/25/10. My first pregnancy did not progress and DJ's heart rate dropped, so c-section it was. I did have a repeat with Devin, and I don't feel like I missed out on anything. My husband and I decided this would be our final baby and I wanted to get my tubes tied while they already had me open, but that can't happen. The hospital I deliver at is a Catholic hospital and they DO NOT ALLOW voluntary sterilization. I will keep my comments to my self on that one. So My hubbs stepped up and said he will get snipped...He said I have been poked at enough...I love that man!

HI! I'm 6wks and 4 days pg today and my doc has told me i have to have a repeatcsection. My DS had to be born via c-section due to being induced and not progressing fast enough and his heart rate dropping.... very scary experience. i want to have a vbac but my doc doesn't allow them so im stuck my mother says for me to just do a repeat c section and don't complicate things ecspecially since i have had 2 m/c after my son... i just don't know...

i pushed for two hours then the dr realized my tailbone was bent too far-so i can never have a vaginal birth :(

Has anyone had to have a blood transfusion with their section? I'm anemic and worried I'll have to have one! This will be my 3rd and last section!

I had my 3rd child 8 months ago and was looking forward to my 3rd easy natural birth but ended up having an emergency c-section due to the placenta tearing away at 35 weeks. The Dr's were in such a rush to get my daughter out that they did a 'Wrigley's Classical Incision' which is a horizontal cut like usual but they then cut my uterus vertically as well. the Dr described it as a double c-sec. Just wondering if anyone else has had this done and how long it took you to fully recover. I still feel tender and still don't feel confident enough to do sit ups or anything using the lower stomach muscles.

I have had 2 c section las t one 3 months ago and am preggo now, it seem each one gets easier recovery wise, first one was horrible never wanted one again. Doc wouldn't let me do VBAC glad she didn't second c section was so easy recover was simple. Gotta have a support belt though. Good luck everyone!!

Having a repeat cesarean on August 10th , hearing all the controversary about vbacs, and how dangerous c-sections can be anyone experiencing anxiety, how are you maintaining it under control?

Hi mommympb. I have had 3 c-sections already and will be having my 4th in November! I have to say that I have come to love c-sections! I love knowing the date of when baby will be born, I love the anticipation of hearing you babys first cry (rather than it being all about the pain of labor), I love that I'm still all intact 'down there', I love that my pelvic floor muscles are still fairly good... Hmm, I think that's all : ) I hope that's helped you focus on all the positives! Of course there is some risk but there always is whether you have a vaginal delivery or a c-section. All the best with your twins - how exciting!!!

Hi ladies! I'm 19 weeks pregnant with twins and i will be having my 3rd c-section....I don't know why but I am totally nervous this time! Any of you ladies of repeat sections have any words of encouragement! I'm scared of blood transfusion or placental problems mostly! Don't know why I can't get past these worries and just relax and enjoy the pregnancy!
