[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the PPs who found your Cesarean's traumatic, can you comment specifically about what aspects were traumatizing for you? I am just curious as I may need elective Cesarean section and many doctors are pushing me hard to get it because I had PTSD from my vaginal birth. [/quote] If you need it, it isn’t elective, fwiw. I am a needle and blood phobe, so the idea of surgery was nauseating enough, let alone being awake, LET ALONE everyone expecting joy at a baby when I couldn’t process the surgery aspect. My anesthesia did not work properly so I had no pain but full sensation. I had a panic attacking after the baby was delivered but before I was stitched shut because it felt like I couldn’t draw breath. I have worked very hard to forget much of this, but I was an anxious PPD wreck for months after. If I had to do it again, I would have done some heavy duty hypnotization, especially as I too had had ptsd prior to birth.[/quote]
