[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That an epidural makes it hard to feel how to push. I pushed for three freakin hours and had hemorrhoids the size of small cluster of grapes for MONTHS! They still had to vacuum DD out. Had natural the next time, no problems getting him out in minutes. I wish I had scheduled C-sections, for both. Lots of damage down there, and still am reminded 25+ years later.[/quote] I, too, wish I had ignored the uninformed recommendations of OBs and midwives and had a scheduled c-section. The damage done to the pelvic floor during a not-insignificant percentage of first-time vaginal births is complex, severe, and not really repairable with current medical practice. I wish I had done research and considered my own situation rather than going with the default vaginal birth. I wish I had known what a urogynecologist was prior to becoming pregnant. [/quote]
