Is your vagina happy you had a c-section? no emerg.

lizahan · January 2012

Ok, silly subject..but in all..because you didn't have to push a baby out of your vagina, get tore, or all torn up down there....are you glad?

I know it scares me to possibly have an episotomy, or tearing, or ripping, or having the vajay jay never be the same again...

BritanyV · January 2012

Nope not at all. I had a vaginal birth with DS#1 (with a tear) and an urgent c-section with DS#2. I would much rather have had another vaginal birth!

well most women bounce back after vaginal deliveries and are again basically the "same"

but I did pretty well with my sections and I am happy about that.

lizahan · January 2012

I had to say, this would be for a scheduled one..not an emergency..

Yes, that is one of the few upsides to having a c-section. But I think DH is happier about it than I am.

That is what would think too. I hear it will 'go back to normal' but then I have read.." no way! It will NEVER be the same"

I would have prefered a vag delivery but since I had to have a c section I concentrate on the positive sides of it, and that is #2 on my list. (#1 is that I was scheduled so my Dr was able to do it instead of whoever was on call)

I had a 10 lb vaginal delivery for my 1st baby and it seriously went back to normal, plus recovery was much easier/faster than the csection I had for baby 2. Would have preferred another vaginal delivery, but this baby was 11.3 lbs so no go!

Yes she is

Huh? I honestly don't understand why some women are so terrified of a baby coming through their vagina. It heals itself way faster than a c-section. I still have pain when I try to do abdominal exercises.

No.

ChiTown Bridget · January 2012

I never wanted to have a c/s but that is the one thing I can say I am happy about.

Heck yeah my vagina is happy and so is my husband LOL! jk I had a big baby and in no way planned a c-section but that's what ended up happening...now we joke about it being a plus that my vag is still intact. I know some people never know a difference after having a vag birth, but my mom had 3 big babies vaginally and part of her bladder now hangs out of her vagina and she's going to have to have surgery to reattach it. A good friend of mine had 2 babies vaginally and has part of her bladder and rectum hanging out her vag...so yea...thank you c-section for not tearing me up!

I would have preferred to have had a vaginal birth.

And my vagina agrees.

skio · January 2012

I mean...sure, I'm glad I didn't have to deal with my vag tearing. But I am in no way happy that I ended up with a c/s over a vaginal birth. I would've preferred a vaginal birth with tearing over my c/s a million times over. Vaginal tearing during childbirth is natural. Getting cut open with a scalpel is not. Both can be difficult, but I'd venture to say that recovering from a major abdominal surgery sucks more than recovering from a vaginal tear 99% of the time.

Most of my reasons for hating my c/s are emotional, but I also had a tough, long recovery.

HBaylies · January 2012

To some extent, yes, I'm glad my vag always stayed completely in tact. The thought of tearing always scared the hell out of me also.

RA1109 · January 2012

My V is a hack job from the 2 years of reconstructive surgeries I had to get on it and my rectum after my vaginal birth. There are chunks of my "parts" missing that are numb and painful in others. Needless to say, my c-section was an absolutely amazing experience and my V is thrilled. Wink

I'd have 10 kids if I knew every experience could be this good!

daenikoffre · January 2012

Wow.. this is one of my first times on this board and I'm kind of in shock right now.

Anyway, my vagina would have preferred to do what it was intended to do. I'm hoping for a VBAC with an eventual LO#2.

MrsVictoriaB · January 2012

Recovering from my vaginal delivery was 1000x easier than my c-section, and everything is 100% back to normal. You'd never even know I had a vaginal delivery even though I had a 2nd degree tear at delivery

kcisthebombdotcom · January 2012

Honestly, yes.

Both of my kids head size has been off the charts since birth and my son was 10lbs. I can't imagine how delivering that size of baby considering my size would have worked and everything would have been completely normal as nothing had happened. Not just for the sex aspect but Im sure I would have struggled with incontinence and such from that.

rt4life · January 2012

if your vagina doesnt "bounce back" even though I'm sure it will....I'm pretty sure your husband will and should understand. You had his child for crying out loud.

I had an emergency c section and I wish I didnt. Part of me felt like I missed out on an important part of my baby's life. I couldnt hold her when she first came out. They put her over the curtain for like 2 seconds. And took her away to clean her up. I cried. Not because I was happy but because I couldnt see her and hold her right away. So be careful what you wish for.

Melzig76 · January 2012

I am! I was actualy just watching a natural birth video and I am so glad my vag will never do that. I'm perfectly okay with the fact DS was an emergency c/, thst DD is scheduled and our third and last LO will be too.
