Three C sections and then Mirena? Has anyone done this?

[Anonymous]

I have been hearing stories about IUD's having a harder time staying in, as well as other complications, if you have not had vaginal births. Has anyone had 3 C's and gone ahead to have a fine time with Mirena?

TIA.

I had two C-sections and then a Mirena. No problems. Doctor was mostly worried about pain during placement, but it wasn't too big a deal.

OP here. thanks for the reply, PP. Did your DR talk to you about the cervix being okay for it?

Oh, and do you still have it? Do you like it?

She was a little concerned about dilating my cervix during placement since I hadn't dilated much prior to that. I took a valium and some advil before the procedure. I still have it. Its made my periods lighter, which is nice. I don't remember her mentioning anything about it falling out or anything.

Not OP, but I also had 3 C-sections and have been on the fence about mirena because I worry about pain during insertion because I hadn't dilated with either of the first 2 C's, and before te 3rd, I wasn't checked right beforehand, so I don't know if I had dilated at all.

For 14:41, did the valium help? My OB did not mention valium as an option when we discussed my fear of insertion.

Not sure if it helped, but it wasn't very painful. It made me feel loopy and I couldn't drive after, so was kinda sorry I had it.
