I particularly appreciated your words at the end about it being okay for you to be in survival mode. It's always been hard to accept after delivery, but it's true, and the sooner I accept it, the better off I am physically and emotionally.

@@truptiuikey6094 for me pain was about the same for both c-sections. The only difference is that I was a bit more mentally prepared for everything the 2nd time around.

That was my first c-section story too! Hardly dilated amd fetal distress. 2nd I could have done a trial of labor but something told me no and when they cut me open, my uterus was paper thin and they told me I for sure woukd have ruptured. 3rd baby, uterus was strong as an ox but cord was around baby's neck and they would have died if I pushed. 4th baby was 19 months after 3rd and medicine didn't help in recovery, but im stronger for it.

Going to have my 5th c-section next month. Mine was caused similar to yours, I was induced (because of pre-eclampsia) but my son's heart rate dipped after contractions and went so low they said let's get him out. My next baby was 14 months after and breech so no VBAC. 3rd Child was 12 months later. Then 6 years later we had our 4th and my OB practice and I decided a repeat was still best option. Now baby 5 is 17 months after baby 4. However my OB practice is pushing me to get a tubal/be "done".

[@MabelsLabels_Mabelhood]

The good news is so much has improved in the past 7 years with c section procedures. Good luck mama you got this!

[@frenchlearner19]

I know this is an older video but I was just wondering if you were induced for your first labour? Or augmentated with pitocin?

[@MabelsLabels_Mabelhood]

No induction or pitocin, they did break her water and she laboured for 12 hours only 1 cm dilated, then babe went into fetal distress, which resulted in the emergency C-Section

[@misscoffee1866]

This is an interesting video however it is possible to have a VBAC after more than 1 C-section. I just recently had a VBA2C and it was a beautiful experience. My MFM specialist explained the risks of placenta accreta to me and it scared me to death that's why I chose not to have a 3rd C-section. Did your OB ever explain the risks of accreta/increta/perceta? Women's who've had several C-sections are at a higher risk of ending up with it

I had a spinal with each of my c-sections and didn’t have any back pain, except for after my third when I had a bit of sciatica. I found that the sooner I got up after the c-section, the better my recovery was. -Julie

[@LaurynDC]

I have my first c section next month and my hospital changed its protocol for pain medicine. So they ONLY give ibuprofen, Tylenol, ect. I’ve had way less surgery with adequate amounts of opioids before. I’m pretty anxious about this. Has anyone else undergone a c section without pain medicine? Any tips? I have a VERY low pain tolerance

[@MabelsLabels_Mabelhood]

Chelsea here from Mabels, I only took extra strength Tylenol after my c-section due to very terrible reactions I have to pain meds, and I didn't have any unmanageable pain with my recovery. I was definitely sore, but was able to begin walking as soon as the spinal wore off, and gentle slow movement helped my recovery immensely. I hope everything goes well for you and good luck mama!

[@elizabethrose6853]

How old was your youngest each time you got pregnant. My husband and I have always wanted six kids. I had an emergency c-section with my first baby. I labored for about 24 hours and then I pushed for two and a half hours. She was sunny side up. After my OB cut me open and took her out he saw that my sacrum is curved in to much. I get pregnant again when my daughter was 8 months old. I would prefer my kids to be in close age to each other. My second is only three months and two weeks old. If I did not have a c-section I would be trying again for a third. I don’t think it would be wise to do so because of the c-section.

[@Farxadiyoguul]

You have to wait 2 years the most.

[@MabelsLabels_Mabelhood]

My first child was 15 months old when his sister arrived. Baby number three was only 20 months after that. I’d chat with your doctor, but I liked having mine close in age. Just be careful - recovery is a lot harder when you come home to a couple of needy toddlers! -Julie
