Hi everyone! I am 33 weeks today and I feel so nervous about my planned C-section, my first baby was an emergency C-section and tbh after 36 hours of labor I fell asleep through the whole thing lol, I have two questions for you mamas!

1. How was the planned C-section? (good and bad experiences. All is welcomed)

2. Did anyone have a scheduled C-section and end up going into labor early? As of right now my cervix is 1cm dilated but it is also my second kiddo. The second part of this question is, If so how did that experience go?

As silly as it sounds I am worried that if I were to go into labor early I wouldn’t get a C-section and be forced to have Baby through a natural delivery and I don’t feel comfortable with that since my first little one got stuck in the birth canal and couldn’t descend any further.

Please and thank you 😊

I’ve been going back and forth on something big and wanted to hear from others who’ve been in a similar spot.

I’m currently pregnant with my second and due June 8th. My doctor offered to remove my tubes during my C-section, and I just don’t know what to do. On one hand, it feels practical and “done”, but on the other, I’m really struggling with the idea of closing the door on having more kids forever.

I love being a mom. My first is incredibly smart and sweet, and while he’s on the spectrum and that comes with its own set of challenges, he’s honestly amazing. That’s part of what makes this decision harder,I know what I have is so special, but I also know parenting isn’t always easy, and adding more kids could change things a lot.

My partner is 100% supportive either way, which I’m really grateful for, but it also means the decision fully falls on me. And I feel kind of stuck in the “what ifs.”

For those who chose to have your tubes removed (or chose not to), how did you know you were ready? Do you ever feel regret, or was it a sense of peace once you decided?

I’d really appreciate hearing real experiences. good, bad, or in between.

Thanks mamas 🙏🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

EDIT- Thank you so much to everyone I have decided not to go through with it!! ❤️❤️❤️
