C- Section

So I had my first prenatal appointment today & they said since in my first pregnancy I had shoulder dystocia & the chance of developing preeclampsia again, there might be a chance for me to have a C-section. When I heard this I wanted to cry bc I’m so scared of c sections especially after the stories I hear about them. I’m just hoping for the best, trying to eat healthy & be more active so that won’t happen.

I just wanna tell you that I ended up with an emergency c section and my recovery was fine! I was terrified especially due to all the stories- my induction with pitocin was everything the horror stories said and more- but the section? Easy as can be. I was sore for a few days but it was more my abdominal muscles from pushing for an extended time rather than the incision

What you're doing is great🙌🏻 keep eating healthy and try to be active as much as you can. I had 2 c sections one was emergency and the other was somewhat planned( I say somewhat because my second wanted to break my water naturally because I asked her and she answered lol) C section recovery for me was hard but i was fine afterwards😊

I had 2 c sections and I had no problems my recovery or delivery! Yes of course a little discomfort, but I believe pain is different for everyone. I’ve had surgeries in the past so I knew what surgery was like. Yes it’s different, but I knew what I was able to tolerate and what I couldn’t. The only problem I had was that I was allergic to the stupid bandage they put on after and my stomach broke out in hives, was super red and itched like a mother! Took the bandage off and the rash went away.

Thank you guys for the peace of mind🩷🥹whatever happens I’m just praying for a healthy delivery for me & baby

You're welcome and believe me I was scared too but you will be ok 😊🙌🏻 stay strong mama you got this🙌🏻 and word of advice . Speak up to those doctors if you feel like something is wrong.. be persistent and always have your questions written down 🙌🏻

I was trrrified re: C-section but was pleasantly surprised how good I felt after it. Pain very manageable!

I was so scared of hospitals and doctors before pregnancy that I would dodge it with my life. I opted for a C-section though and it was the best decision for me. I’ll deffo be having another if/when I have another baby. Recovery was a breeze for me, it’s so different for every person. Don’t listen to the horror stories, emergency sections are very different from electives. Mine was such a relaxed experience
