Repeat C-Section
Hello all,
I am 22 weeks pregnant with my second, my first was a category 1 emergency due to fetal distress after a long induction and I barely made it to 4 cm 🙂
I will be going for a repeat cesarean as I feel it’s the best and safest option for us and the pregnancy/delivery care in our country is beyond amazing.
I am just a little nervous and I would like to hear how did it go for those with a repeat cesarean and what made you not try for a VBAC.
I am a SAHM and don’t need to worry about housechores or anything which is a relief, but I want to be as available as possible for my toddler (he will be 2 by the time I give birth 🥹). My mum will be staying with us for month and a half after I give birth to help out with him and I also have my in-laws next door.
Any tips for good healing? (I know it is not really in my hand but I would love to be able to have 2 or 3 more children in the future).
The doctor told me it’s just a matter of telling me if it’s okay or not after each surgery. Here it is common for women to have around 5-6 cesareans and our maternal mortality rate is amongst the lowest in the world.
The reason I’m against a VBAC is because there is a chance of another emergency cesarean which I want to avoid at all costs.. 😭
Looking forward to your positive stories!
