Why would anyone expect that they would?
No clue. I thougt PPD was caused by the fluctuations in hormone levels after pregnancy. I don't see how a c-section would change that significantly... because PPD is a mental illness which means anything that effects the mind can have an effect, I'm obviously sensitive to hormonal stuff moodwise, the only symptom I get monthly is an urge to kill myself for 3 days before I am due, good job I don't have any physical symptoms to deal with at the same time! I also had horrendous PPD, but I'm sure that having a rough pregnancy and a moderately traumatic delivery really didn't help. Anne[ |

It's similar to ordinary depression, really -- some people are depressed because they have horrible things going on in their lives, and, well, who wouldn't be? Others have depression as the result of brain chemistry going wonky. Still others have elements of both. Post-partum *psychosis* is pretty much always a severe reaction to hormones, and as far as I know does not vary much in different birthing populations. "Baby blues" is far more common in certain populations and is very highly influenced by circumstances. PPD would be somewhere in between. Post-traumatic stress after difficult childbirth (whether vaginal or section) is a separate problem, not always sufficiently differentiated from PPD. |

I went from 5cm to delivery in 20 minutes, ...
my solution is to avoid induction I went from 5 cm to delivery in about 2 minutes, and I wasn't being induced. I did have PROM though. I guess it is no mystery why labor did hurt at that point for me. It was quite freaky, but over so soon that I was very glad it happened that way. KC |

Anne Mine was my second baby. My first was a 6 hour labor. I did actually get from midway dilated to being ready to push quickly with my first (don't remember how quickly, but I know the nurse didn't believe me until she checked). It was with my second though that they just checked me and said I was 5 cm, and then I almost immediately felt the need to push (which I thought was the need to poo very badly since I was only 5 cm), and I only had to push once and the baby started to crown, and then she flew out when I wasn't pushing. I can't explain how it worked, but it did. It was exciting to me when it happened so fast, didn't make me feel traumatic about it, so I am sure you must have suffered more than I. It made me want to do it again. KC |

It made me want to do it again. That sounds exactly what happened to me, I needed to poop, but I had to do it in the bed pan as I had an epidural, then they told me to push, it was all very confusing, I think if I had been mobile and had just pottered off to the bathroom it would have been very much less distressing Anne |
