c-section fears
"tigger" wrote ) and I'm completely freaking out. All I can think of are the problems that are associated with c-sections. I trust her decision that this is the best ting for the baby, but I'm still worried. I'm hoping that someone out there has something reassuring that they can tell me? -Lesley I was completely freaked out when the midwife called the OB into my labor with a whole team of people to prep me for a c-section. Thankgod that the ob was able to deliver my baby vaginally, I have NEVER been so relieved. I was terrified. But I can tell you I know a LOT, a LOT..of people who have c-sections and for most of them everything is just fine and they are not too uncomfortable etc. A lot of them probably have less pain than I had, by the time they ripped and cut through my perineak muscles etc...I was very sore and had feelings like sharp bee stings for weeks. They just had to be careful of their abdomen until it healed. The people I know who had c-sections were okay and wouldn't be as scared to have another one. Everything was ok. I hope this comforts you-- most of them (I know over 15 people locally who have had them) were scared, but most of them will tell me it was not that bad at all, and some of them even tell me it was an ok experience.

In the UK babies are with their mothers the whole time and it's possible to have this after a c-section. I just rang for the midwives when he needed changing or lifting to me for feeding if I didn't have hold of him already. It's most common to have the baby in your room in the US, also. The 'nursery' is typically a hold-over from when babies used to be kept in the nursery, several years ago. Renovating and doing away with the room is too costly, I guess. In our hospital, we could let the nurses take the baby to the "nursery" if we wanted to shower, or get a little bit of undisturbed sleep. My daughter wanted to be held constantly, so sleeping was near impossible. Nan I always send my babies to the nursery for my last night in the hospital. It'll be my last night of sleep for years - lol. Otherwise it's total rooming-in at the Navy hospitals I've been at. |

I planned to keep her with me, as I was feeling pretty good, then I thought, "I must be nuts to pass up some decent sleep". They'd bring her to me for nursing, but it was nice to be able to actually sleeeeep, lol. Nan |

"Sophie" wrote I always send my babies to the nursery for my last night in the hospital. It'll be my last night of sleep for years - lol. I did this both nights I was in-- I felt SOOO guilty and awful, but I needed sleep sooo bad and I knew it was my last chance. Looking back I wouldn't have bothered. Rachel was in the nursery away from Mommy and the nurses STILL came in and woke me up every hour or two to take my temperature and check my stitches etc. Oh well, Rachel sleeps good now-- as long as she;s in bed with me. (I know- bad! It will take years to get her to sleep in her bed, if we let this continue when she's old enough to know it)... Jill |

DS was in NICU for 6 days, then taken off the heart monitors and O2 sats and moved into the standard nursery for a day for continued observation and a little more phototherapy. -- C, mama to nineteen month old nursling |

c-section fears
Alexandra wasn't breech but she was estimated the same size as your baby. I
had a scheduled c-section and it was absolutely wonderful. I didn't feel a thing and I got the pain medication when I needed it. In 10 days I could already drive around and I was going up and down the stairs with no problems. BTW Alexandra was 8 lb 15 oz at birth right on target (u/s estimate was 9 lb). Think how wonderful that tomorrow you are going to hold your wonderful baby!! I am so happy for you! Cannot wait to read your birth story. Love -- Nicky Proud mamma to Alexandra (03/22/2004) |

DS starts the night in his own bed, but always comes over to ours by 4am at the latest. The other morning his first words on waking up (looking right into my face) were "I love you so much!". Hard to top that as a way to start the day! -- Emily mom to Toby 5/1/02 Scheherazade, stillborn at 20 weeks, 3/2/04 |
