My 1st section happened b/c of PE. I went for an apt that day, my Dr. discovered the problem, sent me to L&D to be induced ASAP. They tried for hours to get things going... They even broke my water. At 11 PM, things got really bad really fast w/ myself and my son so I had a crash section which I was not awake for. It was all very sudden.

W/ the twins.. My Dr. wanted a section b/c of where the placentas were, the fact the babies still switched positions so freely and very frequently, twins & I've had several abdominal surgeries and a past section. I was upset about the thought of another section so he spoke to several other Dr.'s in the city and 1 MW to see if they would be willing to assist in a vag. delivery.. And not one of them felt comfortable w/ it.

This time.... I thought there may be a slim chance that I could avoid a section b/c I'm pg w/ a singleton. But after talking w/ my Dr I found out that it wasn't going to happen. 2 sections, too many scars in general, uterus is thin (whatever that means).. So.. Here we go.. Round 3

Both kids decided to get stuck in the breech position on me at 30 weeks or so. I refused a version after hearing that it is only 50% effective and researching for days. I wanted a VBAC but DD was just as stubborn as her big brother.

Failure to progress, only went to 7 cm, and my son was in distress, so I ended up with an emergency c-section. He was also a big baby, 8lbs 2 oz's.

1st c-section was a failuer to progress, 22-23 hours hard labour, never made it past a few cm dilated. (3 I think) AFter so many hours, my son was in distress.
The next two c sections were scheduled. They went MUCh better than a long labour followed by a c-section. Baby #4 will be a c/s too.

I was exactly like Gwensmom...was overdue with #1, and never went into labour. I never dropped, I never had a contraction...they put me on the drip, and still nothing.

They too told me I could go home or go into surgery right now. We opted for surgery. Sad thing is they didn;t give me enough freezing, I felt some of the cutting...not painful, but I could tell she was cutting and where.

Our daughter was born at 11:59 pm, she was already getting wrinkly, and had meconium all over her, when she came out her lung burst a hole, and she needed neonatal care for a couple days while her lung healed.

Second baby, was a planned c-sec...it was another perfect pregnancy, he came out perfect, and we decided to take him 1 week earlier.

Oh that sounds so scarey! She is a-ok now though I hope. ?

Yes, she is perfect now. She was able to be released the day I was, actually they put her in with me the night before, so we had one night together before going home.

But all her first 2 day picture have the tubes, and oxygen and monitors all hooked onto her. That meconium is a real pain to clean off too, it's like tar.

im having my first c-section this time due to the traumatic experience i had with my son the docot highly advised a c- section afte ri finally gave birth toh im 48 hours later needed alot of assistance i had and bub had some breathing difficulties and fetal distress and a whole lot more just wont go into full on details
