I wish planned c sections were available at every NHS organisation, especially for first time mums with severe phobias

[@lisacallagan5026]

Actually since 2011 anyone can opt for a C-section as long as they are talked through the risks its on the nhs website but drs and midwifes don't tell u this as its cheaper for normal delivery.

[@simonesimone1101]

I want a c section. I am first time mum.

[@EBB505]

I had an emergency c section and I am now having my second, the risks increase with every pregnancy. I was very nervous as a first time mum but I was able to make through one week of horrific contractions before my c section. I wish I was able to have a baby naturally. C sections is not always the easier option, long term you have longer recoveries and have to choose again with every pregnancy

I'm having an elective in 3weeks!

[@kellyjames6173]

At how many weeks do you know for sure if you need a c-section

[@user-qn9mr3dr6f]

Is it possible to apply makeup before a cesarean section?

[@twix3799]

Lol really?

[@user-qn9mr3dr6f]

@@twix3799 I was just asking. Some sources say that it is possible. In others, that is impossible. I believe that a c-section is a very important event for a woman, and she has the right to ask such questions. After all, she will be photographed as a keepsake.

My mum was six weeks in hospital . When I was born. She had to have new stitches. She could not have anymore children. And. Was unable to breastfeed. Yes. As an adult I still have PTSD to get over. Following my birth. My experience halted my aspirations for having my own children. As. It is certain I will require a C-section. Things have moved on. But. I shall never have children.

[@mchobbit2951]

Catheter? Oh HECK no. It'll hurt for DAYS down there, as if you aren't in enough pain already. And pulling that out while I'm awake? Ha no.

[@Lilliemaeb]

Mc Hobbit it's not as bad as it sounds... lol but it alkso depends on the person that takes it out. So far for me know pain. 🙄

[@HolleeChantelle]

Trust me the catheter is a godsend. You’ll be so sore you won’t want to pee normally. Plus, you’ll be able to rest in bed after the procedure without moving, remember muscle and tissue is cut through so getting out of bed feels like you’ve done the hardest workout of your entire life. Removing the catheter doesn’t hurt... it just slides out, the catheter has a little balloon on the end to hold it in so when they deflate it slides out! 😀

[@vannessatorres5033]

You dont even feel it pulled out to be honest.

[@anitabahari5512]

Do you still need a catheter if you’re having a c-section under general anaesthetic?

[@Donnylass]

Anita Bahari yes
