[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t speak to everything, but I had an “elective” c section due to a (very stubborn) breech. It was a really great experience (well, as far as having your uterus sliced open). It was calm, and I had our midwife team with us. My request was that the air be light, and everyone in the room brought their A game, joking and poking fun at each other.

I had a really good recovery, but did too much too soon and ended up with some clotting issues weeks down the road. For me, I went home on naprosyn and Tylenol for pain, but I know that’s not everyone’s experience. I did have some issues with the anaesthetic., but that’s because it was discovered in the OR that I had a spinal curvature. I was still having trouble moving and feeling one side the following morning but nothing that time and help didn’t get me through.

I know this isn’t exactly your questions, but the c-section story can be a good one. DD did have some extra fluid in her lungs for a day or two, but not enough that she couldn’t be in room with me.

I just also want to point out that hemorrhage can also happen after vaginal birth. I had one friend for whom this was life threatening.

Honestly, do what feels best. A c section is not a failure or the worst thing in the world. You’ll read some judgemental stuff online about them, but it’s actually not as easy as people thug, nor as terrible.

+1 I had the most relaxed, chill scheduled c. It was a lovely birth. No issues for anyone. [/quote]
