Did anyone get a voluntary hysterectomy after the C-Section, I'm wondering if they put you out or just do it while you are awake/

If the house ain't burned down and the baby's fed it was a successful day. Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

    I would assume since this usually happens in an emergency situation that they would put you under general anesthesia. 

    I asked my OB about taking the uterus that I am not currently pregnant in (I have 2 - lucky me Confused ) due to other issues and she said no.  Because of the increased blood volume and stretching and everything else going on in there, a post-c hysterectomy involves more risk than having one in a normal situation.

    Is your OB giving you the option to have one?

    Ditto hrmary. I asked my OB early on if he would do a hysterectomy and he said he would rather not unless it's an emergency. Too many potential complications to combine it with a c-section/postpartum healing if it's not a lifesaving procedure.

    The plan now is to get my tubes tied and get a hysterectomy a year later. He said hysterectomies are *almost* day procedures now since he does them laprasocopically.

    Just curious...what is the reason for a voluntary hysterectomy?  I didn't know it was even an option.

    I had an emergeny hysterectomy after my c-section (I was bleeding to death). They put me under and I woke up a couple of hours later in ICU.

    I'm just very curious why you would want a hysterectomy?  Medical concerns?

    From what I understand, hysterectomies aren't done with a csection unless it is an emergency due to blood loss. I plan to have one done in a year or two (endometriosis).

    If you end up having an emergency c-section, does it effect your hormones much?  I know that keeping your ovaries is a huge help but what about milk production?
