Positive C-Section experience

in C-sections

Hi Ladies!

 I had a c-section Feb 28 2012 and wanted to tell all of you going in for your first time that it wasn't nearly as bad as I had expected!!  It was painless..really!  

The spinal hurt just a tad going in and then nothing.  It was all over in about 40 min.  Recovery wasn't bad either.  A pain in the but being hooked up to all the stuff but it was all taken off the next day.  Pain was about a 6 out of 10 but meds really helped.

 I was SOOO nervous that I actually put myself into labor that morning...just wish I knew it was going to be fine.  

: )

    That was my experience last time too! They really aren't scary. My last one was my 3rd so I was really focused on seeing my baby and not at all on the c-section.

    I am SO glad to hear this! I am in a total panic about having a c section. I have never had one and was told I will be having one this time.. because twins and my medical issues.

    I am new to the C-Section Board, but my first CSection went fantastic. Of course I am a little nervous to go for surgery again, but if everything goes as well as my first one, I will be sooo happy! A good outcome on a C-Section does happen a lot more than people think!

    I had a pretty great experience. It is no where near as bad as i was expecting, The only fear i had was based on the terrorizing from everyone about demanding natural birth plans only. I think since i went into the birthing experience with absolutely no birth plan, i had nothing to be disappointed with. I had a quick recovery, i got to do skin to skin, i got to hold him very soon. I was really sore, but have a nice scar and I am happy.

    My experience was positive as well. I didn't understand why people were constantly telling me how much I'd regret it and how terrible it would be, etc. Afterwards...."that's IT???" Good grief. People were overreacting lol.

    Mine wasn't bad either.  With my first I had a normal vaginal delivery with an epidural.  My c/s wasn't any worse than my vaginal delivery, there were just different pros/cons to each.  I was terrified of a c/s and it was all for nothing.  While I personally would never opt for a c/s over a vaginal delivery (since it's a major surgery) I wouldn't have any issue if my OB said that a RCS was the way to go.
