We'll see what happens I guess.  |
It's really not as bad as I expected..I guess the main advantage is that by the time you feel any pain, you already have your baby to focus on, and as long as you take your meds on schedule and don't try to be superwoman and only take them when you "need" them, it is really not that bad. (The first two times I waited until I needed them to take them..then it took a while to kick in, and the third time I took them every six hours, whether I was hurting or not, and I did great..I had Faith at 8am, on the dot, and twelve hours later I was cleaning my hospital room, lol.) I had epidurals my first two times and a spinal the last and I much prefer the spinal, which surprised me.
My first baby was double footling breech...my second I could have had vaginally, but I was scared I'd go into labor and wind up with a c-section anyway, and not be recovered in time for a wedding I was supposed to be in, so I chose another c-section. Bad move, because my third baby was transverse, so I went in to labor two weeks before she was born, but because there was no pressure from the baby's weight on the cervix, I wasn't dialating. Two weeks of contractions that did nothing, and I accepted that the baby wasn't going to shift position or be a vag birth, so I had another c-section, lol.
Ok, enough about me..if it turns out that you do need a c-section, and she wants to talk to someone who's been there several times, she can hit me up any time.
And I'll keep you all in my prayers that it doesn't turn out that way.
