I started watching One Born Every Minute last night but fell asleep. I just finished watching the DVR and it was at the part where everyone finally had thier baby. Well I ended up with a c-section and have been upset about it since. Maybe watching women have vaginal births was not a good idea. It just pi$$es me off even more. Especially since my physician said she wasn't comfortable with me doing a VBAC because of my bicornuate urterus. I need to get over this......
Re: Maybe I shouldn't have watched
This. I was crying my eyes out watching - it was definitely not good for the baby fever. And while we're planning another one, now would not be a good time. Maybe I shouldn't watch anymore (ah who am I kidding, I'm going to torture myself by watching every week).
Side note on that... I have uterus Didephys and had a hard time finding people to talk to about it. I had so many warnings from the doctors about getting pregnant and possible miscarriages and early labor, etc. and was scared out of my mind the whole pregnancy. How did your pregnancy go other than your delivery, if you don't mind me asking?
My pregnancy went fine other than my water breaking 3 weeks early. I didn't even find out about my bicornuate uterus until I went for my first appointment to confirm pregnancy.
I have found that I am really sensitive about having a c-section. I needed it and Avery would have not come on his own. They had a really hard time getting him out. Watching OBEM didnt bother me, but people I know have.
A friend just had her 4th baby. Her DH posted on FB that his wife is superwoman and was leaving the hospital less than 24 hours after giving birth. There were a series of other posts that just really irritated me. I know petty. I told DH that is bothered me. It came across as bragging, not excitement. I have been sick so we havent seen the baby yet, but I am kinda glad
because I fill so bitter. It would be like me rubbing it in her face that I was below pre-preg weight before I left the hospital...When I scheduled my c-section, she asked me if I was sure that was what I really wanted and that god makes womens bodies to give birth. Barf!
