C-section success story

mrsp+3 · February 2012

Chloe Alexandria made her arrival via c-section this past Wednesday 2/15. She is pretty much the most perfect baby ever.

I had been so nervous about the c-section (it was scheduled for medical reasons) being as I'd never had any type of surgery before. I have to tell you, it was SUCH an amazing experience. While the recovery is definitely painful, the actual process itself was just incredible. I would absolutely do it all over again. Before the surgery, I was disappointed that I wasn't going to be able to have a vaginal delivery, but now there are no regrets at all. This was definitely the right choice for us.

Anyway, I just wanted to share this in case there were some of you who were waiting for a c/s and were nervous like I was.

Good luck to all the other moms who are still waiting to meet their LO, and a huge congrats to the feb mommies with outside babies!

Definitely nervous here and still holding out hope that it may not come to that but thanks for sharing. Congratulations on your little girl!

My c/s is scheduled for Wednesday and I am SO nervous! I've even been through one before so I know what to expect - but last time it was an emergency c/s and this time I know it is coming. I'm glad you had a good experience. Hopefully I have the same!

Congrats! I love the name Chloe! I am glad to see other people who had a great c-section experience. I ended up with one after not progressing during an induction. It was a great experience and I am glad it ended up the way it did.

Glad you had a good experience. I was terrified at the time, but looking back, it was the best decision for us and I'm glad I made it. I will have to have c-sections with any future children and I think having an idea of what to expect will make it much easier next time around. My recovery has been great, and I am walking a couple miles a day a couple times a week. Are you able to get around ok?

Yay! Congratulations!! I've been looking for your birth story.

. So glad it all went well. Enjoy that baby girl!

I completeoy agree with you! my c section experience beats my vaginal delivery hands down! Recovery has been easier and it was nice to have it set and not go through 12 hours of labor and 3 hours of pushing. If we have another baby I'd do he cs again in a heartbeat.

Thanks everyone! I'm getting around ok. It's only been 3 days, so I'm still moving pretty slowly. It's definitely better than I expected it to be though. I had a tubal at the same time as the c/s, so they told me to expect to be a little more sore.

I feel the same way. I had a c-section after not being able to get the baby through the birth canal due to size and position. My experience was definitely positive, and I'm happy things worked out the way they did. I'm ready to be able to do more, but am still on restriction for at least another week. I will likely at least consider a c-section in the future.

I had a wonderful c section experience this time! It was amazing, we got to do skin to skin while still in the OR!

Thank you! And Congratulations. Beautiful name.

Congratulations! Keep moving! Even if it's slow, I think that helped me recovery faster than I'd ever expect.

And to the other momma's out there who are awaiting theirs - mine was a PERFECT experience also, I felt the same way you did about being disappointed, & I was overly nervous, but it all truned out better than I'd ever imagine!
