[quote=Anonymous]I've had both an emergency and a scheduled c-section.

Recovery wasn't fun, and I remember being especially shocked the first time at how incapacitated I was for awhile, especially the first two weeks. (There are lots of threads here that describe c-section recoveries.)

However. The scheduled c-section was way, way better than the emergency c-section. Way better.  There are still restrictions on activities, still pain to be managed, but recovery was faster and easier.  You go in calm, you have time to talk with your nurse, your OB, your anesthesiologist all beforehand.  It's quick (though the experience of being awake in surgery can be freaky and intense), but then you're in recovery with your baby.

It is by no means the end of the world, and it's a very logical response to having a breech baby.

And, you would be a good candidate for a VBAC. Breech babies isn't one of those reasons that make you less likely to be successful, should you want to try that in the future.

Any irreversible changes to your body are as much from having been pregnant as anything else, and it's hard to tell how your body will be afterwards.  A poochy belly is most likely for awhile.

Best wishes.[/quote]
