I know everyone's experience will vary, but I've heard a lot of women say they found their second one easier than the first. I had one previously due to breech twins and was hoping for a VBAC this time, but now this baby is breech as well. I'm 34 weeks so there's still time to turn, but I'm pretty sure she's been in this position for a while and I suspect she's staying put, which means no VBAC. My first c section went smoothly and I had no recovery issues, but I'm concerned about recovery this time with twin four year olds AND a newborn.
Thanks for any input!
Re: How did a second c section compare to the first?
I think it all came down to being prepared rather than it being a surprise. We could also prepare the oldest that mommy couldn't lift her for a little while, etc. so she did well, too! Good Luck!!
Stick, baby, Stick!
