It pretty much sucked for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-consider-a-c-section-after-a-vag-delivery#post-471377 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 20:38:20 +0000 plantains 471377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ended up with a c-section after 22 hours of labour. I am definitely having a scheduled c-section the next time. My recovery was a breeze and probaby would have been even better if I didn't have the trauma of labour beforehand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-consider-a-c-section-after-a-vag-delivery#post-471346 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 20:09:55 +0000 Ree723 471346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - my labour and delivery was pretty easy and I loved the experience (significantly more so after I got the epidural) and I would hate to miss out on that experience in the future. Having a c-section in future pregnancies actually terrifies me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-consider-a-c-section-after-a-vag-delivery#post-470953 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 12:44:39 +0000 Minnie_Girl 470953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hells no! My labor was ridiculously long, difficult, and painful, and the actual delivery was pretty traumatic...but I'd still not take surgery over it. I'm certain a c-section is not the "easy way out." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-consider-a-c-section-after-a-vag-delivery#post-470787 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 10:10:37 +0000 mamabolt 470787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Even though I ended up with an episiotomy that was a bit of a pain healing, I wouldn't choose recovering from major abdominal surgery over that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-consider-a-c-section-after-a-vag-delivery#post-470722 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 07:47:59 +0000 MamaMoose 470722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a super easy time pushing and delivering her so c section never crossed my mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-consider-a-c-section-after-a-vag-delivery#post-470718 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 07:30:22 +0000 heffalump 470718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't want a csection. I loved having skin to skin right after LO came out, and I wouldnt want the recovery that comes with a csection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-consider-a-c-section-after-a-vag-delivery#post-470610 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 00:23:01 +0000 sarac 470610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! Not unless it was the only option left. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-consider-a-c-section-after-a-vag-delivery#post-470534 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 22:50:19 +0000 prettylizy 470534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had such an easy time with pushing and delivery I was ready to push out another right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-consider-a-c-section-after-a-vag-delivery#post-470531 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 22:46:37 +0000 matador84 470531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nearly had to have an emergency c-section as a result of my extremely precipitous l &amp; d, and I am so thankful my doctor and nurses knew it wasn't what I wanted. I would never want a c-section unless immediate danger was imminent and there were NO other options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-consider-a-c-section-after-a-vag-delivery#post-470527 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 22:45:08 +0000 MrsBeachyBaby 470527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pushed for 2hrs and 45 min. During that time I spoke about wanting a c section instead, but definitely after the fact I want a vaginal Birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-consider-a-c-section-after-a-vag-delivery#post-470485 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 22:27:52 +0000 LivsMama 470485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an elective c/s, so I get it lol. I have a friend who had a really traumatic vag birth and opted for a c/s for her next two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-consider-a-c-section-after-a-vag-delivery#post-445713 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 19:26:56 +0000 sorrycharlie 445713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no way. I had a very easy delivery, though I did have a bad tear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-consider-a-c-section-after-a-vag-delivery#post-445620 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 19:09:29 +0000 Honeybee 445620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but I had super easy vaginal births. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-consider-a-c-section-after-a-vag-delivery#post-445612 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 19:08:47 +0000 chopsuey 445612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Definitely wouldnt want one since I have LO. Can't imagine being away from her for 4 days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-consider-a-c-section-after-a-vag-delivery#post-445607 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 19:07:46 +0000 Bao 445607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I would definitely want another vaginal birth even though I tore to a third degree and pushed an hour and 45 minutes, it was brutal but quite the experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-consider-a-c-section-after-a-vag-delivery#post-445592 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 19:05:19 +0000 BelugaBean 445592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember wishing I was having a c-section during labor because my contractions hurt so bad. Now though I would definitely want another vaginal birth but maybe with an epidural this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-consider-a-c-section-after-a-vag-delivery#post-439370 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 19:00:00 +0000 mrsjyw 439370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i remember one of the first things i said to dh after a painful 2 hours of pushing (following a 26 hour labor) was... "i want a c-section next time!"</p> <p>at 3 wks pp, i've def changed my mind and would of course want a vag birth first... but i wouldn't be against a c-section either as i was so adamantly with LO's birth. </p>
