I hope you get more answers soon Tanya, and something to reduce the pain and discomfort you’re feeling 🫶🏻 sounds like you’ve got a great dr who listens, and takes the time to provide you with the necessary information you need. Love that you can share all your experiences with your journal pages, I’m sure that gives you some comfort.
Hi Tanya I can feel your pain literally. Anyone who is pregnant probably shouldn’t read the next bits.
When I was pregnant with Sarah I asked if it was true if small feet can mean small pelvis. My arse has never been small, I was very surprised when the answer came back yes! I am size 2 feet. Yes I am a very strange shape. I also had had to have a dermoid cyst removed when I was 4 months pregnant. They are ovarian cysts with teeth cartilage and others things in them. The cyst started growing when I became pregnant and was bigger than Sarah so it had to go ..... first scar straight down the middle of my abdomen.
I went into labour had a drip to help things along. 48 hours later Sarah very helpfully decided that she was fed up and disengaged from the process and went back. But as she had a monitor on her it showed she was distressed. So emergency Caesar time. She was absolutely perfect because her head hadn’t been engaged. She was the perfect baby. But for a few years I had pain which no one could get to the bottom of I had heat treatment. Then the old it’s in your mind. It did go eventually.
When I had George the consultant felt I shouldn’t go through natural birth as the same was likely to happen. Useful as I could book it during half term fit childcare for Sarah. The epidural took 2 hours to get into me. They were just about to give up. I was very poorly after with infections and a 2 week stay in hospital, 7- 10 days was the norm 35 years ago. I had various porters visiting me at various times as it was the hospital where I used to work. The scar this time was a bikini line. You could play noughts and crosses on my stomach.
Caesareans have nothing to do with being too posh to push. I can remember the guilt I felt when I had Sarah. NCT was very vocal in their views on natural child birth. It was not helpful for those of us who were not able to have a natural birth.
I would say what is most important is a healthy baby and mother. Both of us could have been at risk, both times. Therefore it was worth it. But they are painful and take time to heal on top of coping with a new baby.
Thanks for the memories Tanya. It is a bit of story but mine but worth it for my two wonderful children ❤️❤️
Wow what a journey you've been on. And what a story! I thoroughly enjoyed reading your comments, thanks for sharing. I'm sure both our caesarean experiences will resonate with lots of readers. xx
