Positive second c section stories.

I had my second c-section 11 weeks ago. My first section was not planned but I ended up taking this route when my daughter turned and was back to back. However I still had a positive birth experience. I opted for an elective c-section this time as I knew what to expect and could have a bit more control over when I gave birth and I had another positive birth experience with no complications. Like with my first section a couple of weeks after birth I felt fairly back to normal and the bleeding didn't last too long either.

Since it's been five years and this is your second, you're at less of a risk of any complications. If you don't have a bad medical history or any health problems of your own or runs in your family, there's nothing really to worry about. 💯

My first born was an emergency c section at 33 weeks.

I fell pregnant 4 months post margin and decided to keep baby. I had the same thoughts. As they recommend minimum 3 years between babies.

I did have to have another section (I have a problem with my cervix) and it was a completely different experience, it was calm, it was lovely, recovery was easier, I knew what to do the second time round and I didn’t mind it at all x

I had an emergency csection at 34 weeks. Was the best experience, everyone talked the whole time, we were joking. The surgery itself took MAYBE 45 minutes. Had a fantastic team for healing and her
Special care stay. I have zero complaints about the csectio

I had a extremely bad first that also took me 5 years to even consider having another baby as I was so scared. My first was a vaginal delivery and completely traumatic for me in many ways that I struggled badly postpartum and had post natal depression. After 5 years and still on antidepressants I decided I could do it again but in control this time with a elective c section, it was the best decision I made. It was such a lovely experience and couldn’t have asked for a better day. No rushing, no stress, I knew what was happening and I was informed. It was at the same shitty hospital but it was under different care this time and I’m so glad I chose to have it done. The recovery was great and it’s been 12 weeks and I don’t feel like I’ve even had it done. I would 100% do it again if I was going to have another.

I had my first via c-secrion (breech baby) and it was a great experience. I am obese, 37 years old and have a history of stroke. I was surprised how easy it was honestly. Baby was out in 29 minutes form when they first wheeled me into the room. Epidural was quick and easy, and I felt literally nothing. Recovery was great. I was going up stairs in about a week and driving within 2. I did get a coupe support bars, one for the bed and one for the couch, normally used for seniors butthey were a life saver, even at the end of my pregnancy when I was huge.

After the surgery, try to get up and move as soon as they allow you to, even just walking around the room, and take your pain meds on schedule, don't try to skimp. There's no awards for suffering! Also, I think the 'planned' part is so important. Trying for a vaginal and then needing surgery is so much harder on your body, and there's literally no way to predict how a vaginal will go.
