The dreaded C/S!

I have had several comments of the like:

You could have done special exercises and turned the baby! I did do them, baby still sat ass down!

Why didn't you just do a breeched labour, I did and my baby was fine. No midwives in my area do breeched births and now there is a real danger of prolapsed cord.

Is the reason why you didn't breast feed because you had a cesarean? Nope, boobies stayed empty for a completely different reason.

You are going to do VBAC next time right? No, I really enjoyed my birthing experience as a c/s mother. I was relaxed and happy (drugged)... Why wouldn't I want that again?

I also had comments before my birth as well

That is going to hurt for WEEKS, I would rather get it over and done with.
Actually epistomy's can hurt for just as long and you aren't in constant pain for 6 weeks.


I hated people constantly feeding me negative vibes... would love to hear more comments with great come backs

tehe emma PMSL!!!

I actually also did not breast feed, tried it with my son for a full day and it just did not work for me and was very stressed out, so made the decision with no 2 in early stages of pregnancy that I was not gonna go down that path again, and knowing I would have a second c-section, and when no 3 comes along I will also go straight on the bottle none of my children have had any major sickness my daughter has asthma but that is more to do with her being delivered 10 weeks early.

Don't let anyone be negative to you we all do what we need to do for us and our babies you are awesome!!

Awwww thanks Toni

Oh - I've heard comments like, back in the day they didn't used to do c/ss for things like breech birth ra ra ra... yea well back in the day they had a lot more mums die in child labour! Ugh!

I'm surprised Emma. When Briona was breech at 36weeks the mw would have happily booked me for a c/s right then I think. Because I then had two "odds" against me. I was still keen for VBAC and I think she was a bit concerned about that but Briona finally got into position at 38 weeks... with the cord around her neck twice

I can't even begin to imagine how that would work Glow!??!?!

and LOL designer vagina

I got a card from a friend in the states "glad your whoo haa is in tact"

lol honeymoon fresh!!

How long before everyone was back on the wagon & having sex? TMI..... i was 1week, if Brae was a VB it would of been 1yr lol am sure the size of him would of ripped me.

for us a month and even that was awkward and scary managed to sort things out through practice though

We were told to wait 6 weeks....oh my gosh for some reason I couldn't tried it once and then waited....LOL

I am now back on the pill....have I lost that drive! I stopped taking the pill before Tyrell and you must have thought I was a teenager doing it for the 1st time...ooops TMI
Does anyone else find this?

I didn't get any feedback on C/s I think due to the state I was in. 26 hours of labour getting to 9cm's with gas not even turned on, having 5 attemps at an epi. being given petidene (SP?) to get line #5 in. Then followed the PND.(but I can go on about that in PND board) i think everyone was too scared to even say anything LOL
