Did you deliver? Normally or CS

3 vaginal deliveries here

I assume by normal, you mean vaginal? I wouldn't really call a c-section abnormal.

I've had two vaginal deliveries.

Vaginal.

There is no "normal" way to give birth.

That was my first thought, too.

Son "normally" (vaginally is the term you are looking for)

DD was a c/s.

Emergency C Sect. So...abnormal, I guess. How will I ever explain this to DS?

This is what I was thinking.

As someone who had no choice in her very normal c section after planning for a vaginal birth and struggled enough coming to terms with it, I definitely would suggest revising the phrasing....

I feel for you, I had a hard time after DS's surgical extraction. I cried myself to sleep last night because it looks like I won't be getting my vbac. I have no idea how I am going to come to terms with another c/s after this LO is born.

I saw this post earlier and I couldn't comment because I didn't want to go off on someone that I am sure didn't mean to hurt people's feelings.

(((HUGS))) to you both. I too bawled about my first c/s. I really wanted a VBAC this time but never went into labor in time so wound up with another section. I was able to come to terms with this one more but still sad.

I ended up in the same situation. I really wanted a VBAC too, but no signs of labor by 41 weeks meant another section. I am dealing with this one better so far, but I try not to think about it too much so I won't get in that disappointing/depressed mindset again. My doc said my pelvis shape may not allow for engagement, which eased my mind about it a little. I tried all I could to help labor along.

I was scheduled for an RCS on the 12th. DD came via unmedicated VBAC on the 2nd.

@mariedianne you're a SS.

Also, VAGINA.

And, 2 happily elective extractions here.

bumpuser10194737

Three surgical extractions here. One emergency, one because I chickened out of a VBAC (I wasn't a great candidate for one so opted for the extraction rather than attempting a VBAC and having to end up with a CS anyway), and a third because I had no other option.
