Delivery options.

Hey, so with my last delivery, I did a vaginal birth, which i LOVED. It did result in a severe prolapse that required repair surgery. Im only 24 and dont want permanent damage. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what have your doctors said about the delivery after and risks? Is c-section my safer or only option?

I did a vaginal birth after two c sections. When there was a risk that I had a prolapse after my vaginal delivery I looked into this quite a bit and I would never do it again if I had had one. I’m considering going back to c sections even tho I didn’t. The risk of my body not working anymore in that sense, which is several ways when you think about it, was way too great and too scary for me personally.
I would opt in for a c section if I had already had prolapse surgery and I’m so sorry I wish that wasn’t my advice but it surely is.

But don’t forget, your birth plan is UP TO YOU! You can and should decide what is going to make you the happiest and give you the most power!

Thank you! Can you get an elective c-section and still let your body go into labor naturally? Do you get immediate golden hour?

hey! I had a emergency c section and I am going to have an elective in late January (due date is Feb 3rd but they dusky do it at 39weeks) in my emergency c section I asked it hold baby straight away and they actually let me! I have heard for elective C-sections that they go over your birth plan with you before they do anything and that as long as you and baby are both healthy. You can immediately hold the baby!

@Melissa, okay, that's good. I read about family centered c-sectionw which is really reassuring if I have to go this route. Thank you for giving me more reassurance that this can be a bonding experience as well.

no it it’s elective you go in on the day they choose with you. They usually end up taking them at 39 weeks so that they’re a little smaller and more manageable.

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.
