[quote=Anonymous]I had an elective, planned c-section with my first, partially due to concerns about tearing. My OB and I both knew going in that I’d likely try for two more kids, and I understood that those would have to be c-sections too. The surgeries themselves were fine. Everything was calm, predictable, and I had no complications. I found the insertion of the iv needle and spinal (I think that’s the term?) to be the most uncomfortable. I did shake a lot during my first c-section, which apparently is not unusual, but it wasn’t a big deal. Recovery was tougher each time, but I didn’t really do much bed rest and went back to driving/stairs/cleaning/picking up toddlers far too soon. In retrospect I didn’t really have decent support in place. I recommend avoiding those pitfalls if you go the c-section route, and staying on top of the pain meds they give you.[/quote]
