OT C-section question

MidwestStepmom's picture

I had a c section a year ago and now I'm getting weird feelings in my stomach. These feeling don't hurt, but there not comfortable. If I'm hunched over sitting and twist, I will sometimes feel a sharp tightness in a muscle. Almost like a damaged nerve.

Anyone else had a c section and experienced this?

I had a c section 2 years ago. I still get random pains and periods feel like labor for me. I actually got stuck on the toilet at work because the pain wasso bad and I couldn't move, like my stomach and back just locked up.

I can't bend or twist like I used to because of the pain. Hopefully this baby is a VBAC. I hear the recovery is easier and less chance of long term problems.

My next baby, if I decide to have another one, will be another C section. I've decided to no vaginal for me, I was pushing for 24 hours before the c section and that was enough for me.

I've been weighing my options.

With DS2 I was in labor for 3 days. His head got stuck at 5 cm and the epidural wouldn't work so I wasn't even awake when I had him.

My biggest fear is that happening again. I'd like to remember the birth of my child and not go to sleep pregnant and wake up with no baby.

As it gets closer I'm getting more and more nervous. I can't stop watching birthing videos. SO thinks it's hilarious because last night I kept asking why they always have to cut the vagina lol.

I got to 10cm and pushed for hours. My BS head has always been in the 99 percentile. The epidural didn't work so I felt everything, I pushed so hard I blew a blood vessel in my eye. I was so happy to get a c section.
