caesarian delivery

I delivered my baby thru CS. Nothing to be afraid of. You will be given anesthesia so you wont feel anything. Operation would be very quick. After the operation, you will be wheeled to the Recovery room for a couple of hours then you will be transfered to your room. You will feel a little pain when the anesthesia wears off. Buy a good binder to protect the wound. You will be needing a lot of help & support from your husband too. Good luck & have a safe delivery. Always remember all the pain & fears will fade off once you see & cuddle your adorable baby:)

You will be given a spinal or epidural in your back to numb you. Depending on the strength of it, you will be able to feel some parts of your body. Before this they shave you and hook you up to monitors and all that. When it time to go to the operating room, you'll be wheeled there and your coach person will be suited up somewhere else. Then you will be given meds to help you during the birth. Coach comes in, you are draped and arms are pulled out to sides. The drs will check to see where you are numb at. They poke you and you answer them. Then you get to know they are cutting, you feel pressure, but no pain. Then the drs will pull the baby out and you get to see it. After that the baby will be weighed and all that,, Apgar scores. Then the drs start to suction and then they start to close. After the surgery is done, you go to recovery. After recovey you go to your room and your baby. You'll have a catheter in, so when thats out you can walk. It hurts like hell, but walk, lots. It will help you heal faster. If you have a boppy pillow, it helps you hold the baby with less pain. If you nurse, its is a lifesaver.

i had to have an emergency c-sec. wasn't my 1st choice, but at the same time, i did not have an option. the actual process, operation went quite quick and went off very smoothly. with the epidural i just had this very odd feeling. no pain, could just feel someone tugging at me. hate to say this tho, but afterwards, the few hours after the op right up until about 3 weeks later.....i was in complete agony. i think with natural birth the pain is ther and then. with a c-sec, it last for about a few weeks. very uncomfortable, very painful.........but, nothing some good meds can't cure. Good Luck! i'm sure you'll be just fine...........

Hopefully there might be a chance the baby might move. there could be many reasons the baby is not flipped and one is that the cord could be wrapped around the baby. This could be quite dangerous and the safest thing to do is have a c-section. Hopefully you have a good ob to do the operation. If the ob does a good job you could easily have multiple births. Depending on what area of the world you live in you might be able to even have children naturally,

Mine was an emergency Caesarian delivery. I labored for about 12 hours (induced) before we decided to go for the CS since my bag had been leaking for about 24 hours already and I was only 1 cm dilated after all that labor. I actually felt relief when I was given the epidural anesthesia. It was pretty quick. I was awake and I was able to see my baby when he got out. I was given a lot of painkillers so I was already out and about the next day.

My two kids were delivered thru Caesarian section. The first time, it was an emergency CS because I had been in labor for more than 9 hours and I didn't get past 3 cm dilation plus my water bag broke several hours previously. Apparently, I had CPD (cephalopelvic disproportion) - the baby's head wouldn't fit thru my pelvic bone, thus no dilation past 3 cm. My first brush with CS was horrible!!! I'm not trying to scare you, ok? It was probably my own fault why it was terrible. I didn't stand up and walk right away (about 24 hours post op) for fear that my incision would open (that's a very remote possibility). This is the reason why my recovery was very painful and difficult. To give you an idea - the actual operation would be a breeze, no pain at all and would take about an hour tops. A few hours post op, you might feel a slight pain around the incision and your movement would be very limited. But with the help of meds and positive thinking, you won't have much of a problem. During my delivery of my 2nd child, it was also CS. Having gone thru the procedure previously made it much easier to cope and recover. This time, I made sure to slowly stand up and walk as soon as my OB gave the go signal. Five days post delivery, I was already malling with my baby...hahaha!

Since you've said that you needed caesarian, this only means that is more expensive compared to the nowrmal delivery. As far as I know, you are not allowed to go out of the hospital after you have been operated as compared with the person who delivered normally, who can go out of the hospital after 24 hours or as soon as she can walk. You willbe put into sleep during the caesarian while during normal delivery, you are awake. You won't have any vaginal tearing since you will deliver via caesarian but you will have a cut in your lower abdomen that usually takes long to heal.

Hi, I gave birth last Nov 23 via CS. The actual operation is virtually painless since you'd be given an epidural o even be sedated and asleep. Right after the delivery, you can still request for an epidural or morphine for the pain but by the 2nd o 3rd day you should be able to go to the bathroom by yourself. You should start getting up on your bed on the 2nd day. It would be very painful,but after 5-6 days the pain will lessen. In my case, I checkout of the hospital on the 4th day. The advantage here is that no more labor pains for you. The disadvantage? I didn't get to nurse my baby right away since its difficult for me to stand up and go to he nursery and of couse you get a scar.

i had an emergency c-section. i was supposed to have a normal delivery but the baby was oblique-lying and i was already in active labor. there was no chance that he'll move in the right position. i was awake the whole time they were opening me up, but i couldn't see anything (like in the tv, they put a blanket so you couldn't see what they were doing). they took the baby out in just 15-20 minutes, but it took them more than an hour to sew me back. it also took me more than 2 hours in the recovery room before they finally hauled me to my room. after that, i had to make sure that i could walk immediately (after 24 hours) so that i could see the baby in the nursery. they didnt bring me my baby bec they had to give him some tests due to cs. and i couldnt move much because the wound must heal first. anyway, at least i didn't experience the labor pains much. i hope you have a safe delivery, whether normal or cs.

i'm a student nurse here, i already had hands on with a casarean sectioon delivery, actualy my patient doesnt need to undergo CS but it was her personal choice because she was scared of the pain of a normal spontaneous delivery. the operation was about 15 minutes because there was no complications, all you need to do is relax. the painful part there is when they will introduce the anesthesia to you and the incision site will be quite painful after the anesthesia has no more effect, there's nothing to worry really as long as the surgeon is good and as long as you cooperate
