Best advise for bf after c-section
"Herself" wrote in message ... : : Where did she have it? Sounds like her consultant was a bit...old : fashioned? : Same place as me and yes her's is old-fashioned. I barely got to meet mine, but I prefer dealing with midwives anyway and I had stand-in consultants that were very nice. I don't think it is coincidence that she was going private and ended up with a section. : : : Good on you, Marie...how's Liam doing? : -- He's doing great :-) He weighed 10lbs 7ozs the other day, a whole pound up on what he was leaving the hospital. He's already starting to fill out and grow out of some of his clothes. He is very alert during the day, spends ages just looking around. I brought him for his BCG the other day, I hated it! Marie |

Pointless :-( Best advise for bf after c-section
Irish Marie wrote: I text her today and she has given up already :-( She text back that the baby was very slow (wtf?!) and that she is going to feed her SMA instead. :-P yukko. I'm gutted for her because I know she'll regret this. Ah, yes, that's an expression not used here that well defines exactly how I feel about mums ffding for no decent reason at all. I am going to visit her tomorrow and I'll have Liam with me, no doubt I'll have to feed him while I'm there so I'll at least let her know that all is not lost and she may still be able to reverse her decision, but I don't hold out much hope. Bubble over with enthusiasm and mention that things start slowly, but oh HOW worth it it is, and can you help with something while she gets settled to nurse, it's not too late, etc etc. Though you're right it sounds entirely like she's got blinders on wrt anything but the "party line".... :-(( Thank you all for your advise. I will save it up in my memory for my SIL who is having her second baby in February and I suspect may go for an elective rather than a VBAC. Elective csects have to be the closest second possible to ffding....perhaps a dead heat actually. Talk about an industry relying on half-truth and misinformation. ("But your uterus will rupture into tiny bits and you will be dead....are you still sure you want to try a VBAC, honey?") ((Marie)) it's really hard once you're converted, isn't it? Sadly, it's the kind of thing that some friendships cannot survive, because it speaks to many levels of values and ethics what one does at teh birth of a child, imo/e Dawn |

Best advise for bf after c-section
"Buzzy Bee" wrote I was wondering what would be the best piece of advise I can give her in relation to managing to bf after a section? Jean and Elana's phone numbers ;-) Elana's Stateside atm but by all means give her my number. If necessary I can pass her on to my LLL leader who's had 5 c/s and is currently pg with no 6! Jean -- "And he said: Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you." Khalil Gibran Return address is unread. Replies to firstnamelastname @eircom.net. |

"Dawn Lawson" wrote in message ... Elective csects have to be the closest second possible to ffding....perhaps a dead heat actually. I had an elective c-section because of a fundal perforation during a blind scissors metroplasty. Will you tell me that I was a fool to choose not to go through labor with that upper segment scar? It was quite deformed at the time of the c-section. If I get pregnant again, I'll have a section all over again, even if you think that it makes me a stupid rube. Beth |

That's NOT an elective C-section! That's a section planned for a perfectly good medical reason (not some vague thing like "oh, your baby might be kind of big"). There's a huge difference. --Helen |

I haven't a problem with c-sect for NEED. I have HUGE problems wtih C-sect just cuz the last one was, just cuz the baby ultrasounds a little on the large size, just cuz the mom doesn't want to go thru labor (know two women like this..one chose baby's birthday, the other has three kids and has never gone into labour AT ALL) and other assorted convenience reasons. (oh, kid's head won't be misshapen.......*good* reason...) Dawn ¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤» |

I brought him for his BCG the other day, I hated it! Yeah, I felt like hell afterwards. Did you nurse him right after (like 10 seconds)? That really calms them down... -- Meself sahm, bf mom to P, 23/12/01 -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

Well, we signed up with VHI three days before we found out we were preggers. So no maternity coverage for a year...it was all out of our pocket. :-) But we got to deduct it from our taxes!!

(or "not medically indicated", if you prefer.) that is not true. "elective" means "not medically indicated." "Scheduled" means "planned, regardless of indication." Both elective and non-elective sections can in fact sometimes be scheduled. Emergent sections are a type of non-elective sections which can not be scheduled. -- hillary israeli vmd http://www.hillary.net "uber vaccae in quattuor partes divisum est." not-so-newly minted veterinarian-at-large |
