C-sections

Previa C-sections

Any ladies have a complete previa and c-section story? Is it any different when the placenta was covering the cervix in terms of bleeding and recovery? I know the placenta makes an open wound after removed in your uterus so just wondering if you bled more or less or if you even know... thanks in advance

Re: Previa C-sections

  • I've had 3 scheduled c/s's, and my first was because of complete previa with DS1. I did bleed more during the actual surgery (almost needed a blood transfusion but didn't) but as far as recovery, it wasn't any longer or worse than the next 2 c/s's.

  • I had complete previa with my daughter. They prepped me with an extra IV(with a gigantic needle!) incase I needed a transfusion but I didn't. They told me I lost more blood then normal, but all I needed were iron pills after delivery. I had a vaginal birth with my son so I don't have anything to compare the recovery with.

    Good luck!

  • I just had a C because of previa 6 weeks ago. They made sure they had my blood type in the OR with us because they were expecting me to bleed a lot and need a transfusion but I didn't. According to my doctor the placenta "peeled right off". He told me this during the surgery. yuck! thanks for the visual! lol

  • I just had a c-section with my first pregnancy 3 weeks ago. I was scheduled for the cs at 37 weeks but ended up having my 4th bleed while in the hospital (had been in there for a week after my 3rd) and had the cs at 36 wks and 3 days. I also had 2 IV ready one for fluids the other in case of bleeding. Thankfully the placenta came out easily with minimal bleeding. Recovery so far has been good. The incision has never really hurt just a inch or two above the incision seems to be the most bothersome. I'm told it's normal something about the nerves coming back. I would say minimal bleeding also.

     Hope this helps.
