I was told I had to have a c section last minute dilated at an 8 I cried out of fear of just being “cut” but I kid you not I didn’t feel a thing they give you enough to be numb and it doesn’t take long at all and once I heard my baby cry nothing else mattered to me whoever needs to hear it don’t worry you and your baby will be fine and recovery is very easy just stay strong and take your time walking

I just had a c section 3 days ago. I was in labor for about 30 hours having constant contractions and I was only 2 cm dilated. Baby wasn’t in distress, but it just wasn’t working. Turns out baby was tangled in the cord and wasn’t able to descend properly. Im really glad that we got a c section and baby is safe. ❤️❤️

Salute to all moms who encounter c-section like me...im 36 weeks now and have a c section on 6th of dec,2021...have a safe delivery to us!

Good luck! 77% of private births here in South Africa are elective C-sections so it's obviously not so bad if everyone pretty much wants one

I'm going to have a C-section in a couple of weeks. Just want to let you know this video is the most informative one talking about C-section on KZread. This is my first child and I am highly anxious, yet you really helped me relax by sharing everything in detail.

I just found out today that my lil babe is transverse. I’m 36 weeks today and we scheduled a c-section for Sept 29. Also a first time mom.

I also had a c section done for my daughter a month ago. At first I was so anxious but the doctors were very friendly and supportive. Thumbs up to all the mothers who have gone through this process

Just found out i have a cheeky breech baby at 37 weeks! C-section booked for the 26th. Im nervous but these videos really help❤

That feeling is amazing I don't care about the wound the feel I had after hearing my baby crying I cried too I was like oh that's my baby thank you God

I am 38 weeks pregnant. I felt this video is really helpful. Thank you for creating it.

How are you now?? How was your recovery??

Thank you for all the info. I had an emergency c-section with my son almost 10 years ago and now with baby #2 I need to schedule one because of a medical issue. This wasn't new info for me but you did give a good layout of what to expect. I shared this with my fiance so he could watch as well. I think the only difference between my experience and yours was that I had to have a longer hospital stay. Thank you again. Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Thank you for sharing, its like a walk down memory lane for me. Everything's so similar and I could literally feel myself going thru the entire process again. I've had 2 (emergency, elective) and another elective coming July. A little nervous but your video was so helpful to calm me down a bit.

This was super helpful and made me feel a lot better! Thank you!

When you called the scar your kids birthmark, that made me tear up, that's so beautiful! ❤️😭 Having my second elective c-section(the first one was not an elective one, but not emergent either, can't remember the third term they use 😅) on Thursday and a bit nervous if I'm honest. I know I'm in good hands but I'll be staying by myself with the baby after the surgery, as my husband is taking care of our eldest at home and am a little scared of the pain and having to carry the baby by myself this time around. This video was a good reminder of what's gonna happen so I'm happy I watched it. 😊

Thank you for talking about this in such a calm and clear manner!

i’ll be going in on feb 15th to have my 2nd c section. 6 years after my first. i am sooooo nervous as my first one was so hard on me. but watching these videos helps to calm my nerves. and i get my meet my first daughter which is always very comforting! i can’t wait to finally see her🥰💖

My last vaginal delivery was so traumatic (16 years ago) that I became paranoid and kept having flashbacks of my last birth and super high anxiety as my due date gets closer. My anxiety has been so high that my doctor suggested a c-section. So, now I feel better and am doing what I can to prepare for the pain afterwards.... So thank you for the video

Great video, as a soon to be dad I am pretty scared/anxious for my wife to go through a cesarean, and while I still am super nervous after watching your video, I’m glad to have this kind of info so I can share it with her and know how I can help her.

Thank you so much for this video! This helps so much for the expectation I have for my scheduled c-section. :) all your videos are very helpful!

You did explain exactly what happened, very versatile good information and spot on! All mothers to be having c section should use your information 😊

I had an emergency c-section as well but my experience was bad cause I needed another surgery 10 days after I gave birth due to internal bleeding. It has been so hard emotionally. The birth was similar to your experience, but the 2nd surgery was nothing like it. I had the catheter over 4 days in plus 3 additional tubes coming out of my lady part, which made me look like a failed experiment. Even though they made me walk the morning after they didn't take that tube out and it drove me crazy when going to the toilet as I needed to pee but couldn't. My scar is simply ugly 19 months later and that made me have another breakdown after seeing my friend's. Hers is almost fully healed 9 months after. It's great to share our experience but please know that every experience is unique and don't expect things to go in the same way. Also the pains I had felt so intense and I would often complain, yet my friend hadn't done so, not even once. She said hers were manageable.

I truly neded to see this. You have given me an ease that no book has. Thank you

This was so helpful, thank you! I may be having to schedule one because mine is breech at the moment but we'll confirm at my next appointment. Your experience definitely provides a great understanding of the whole procedure and recovery 💛

This was super informative and detailed! Thank you so much! When I first found out my baby was breeched and I would have to have a c section, I cried my eyes out thinking it was the worst thing possible. But after doing some reading and watch other moms go through it, it has made me realize that yes it will be hard but I can do this! So thank you for this! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I can now say I am physically and mentally prepared for my scheduled c section!😊

The same happened to me, I cried and cried and begged and pleaded with my doctor but obviously you can’t bargain your way out of an emergency C lol. I hope your second one was smooth and joyful, congrats! 🎉

I also had an emergency C-section and was so disappointed and stressful because I wanted a natural birth do bad and was preparing and doing everything I could to induce labour. So I found it harder to tolerate the pain after the the surgery

I had a c section with my first- it was awful- but I’m convinced a big part of that was because I had incredibly unrealistic expectations of what it was going to be like/feel like. I’ll have my 2nd c section baby in July and I’m so much better prepared. Videos like these are so important!

Why was your C section so awful? The 'bad experiences' give me anxiety...

@abby7038

7 ай бұрын

@@Sasha-zl1xr Really, the only reason my experience was so bad was because I had seen these videos and read these comments from women, saying that their C-sections were so much easier than giving birth vaginally. That might be true for a minority, but it’s not true for the majority- so you have to go in it with the expectation to experience what the majority of women experience. If for some reason, it’s an easy breezy thing for you, Amazing! But at least you’re mentally prepared and your expectations will be reasonable. ❤️ after all, it is major surgery, and it is a significant abdominal incision. When you have realistic expectations (might not be able to get the baby out of the bassinet- stand up and get the baby, change a diaper, etc) in my opinion, it’s very manageable. You might need a little bit more help than someone who gave birth vaginally when you get home from the hospital for the first few days. You’ve had major surgery. Abdominal incisions means that it’s really tough to sit up and stand up so bending over and reaching into a bassinet, etc. those things might be tough for you. My first C-section, I did none of that, my second one by my last day, I could get the baby out of the bassinet. Everyone heals on their own time. Just remember after about a week, you’re going to feel so much better ❤️❤️❤️❤️ One reason we love the halo bassinet is that you could have it right next to you and the bar goes down- great for C-section mamas!!

@@abby7038 Thank you so much for your thoughtful response and I have heard/read that the recovery process of a C Section is more timely, challenging and at times uncomfortable. I understand there may be more risks involved post C Section, but honestly I don't think I can bring myself to go through a vaginal birth, I strongly feel that a C section would suit me best, but as you said, every woman is different. Congratulations on your birth and I hope you continue to have a lovely life with your family ❤️ and you are amazing for going through the process and being a wonderful mother. I don't feel like mother's get enough credit for what they go through at times and it's always interesting to hear other women's experiences.

Very informative thank you for sharing :)

Thank you so much for posting this. I currently have a c-section scheduled for my breech baby and am so nervous about it. Hoping he flips, but want to be mentally prepared in case he doesn't. You mentioned you're a queasy person, which I am as well. I'm considering the gentle c-section because I want to see the baby when they bring him out. Would you have done it that way, or do you think you coped better by having the fully covered drape?

If I had the chance to change everything it would to never be having a c section, everyone is different but the experience was horrible and I’m so glad VBAC is available for women

This was helpful. I am at 36 weeks and my baby has been projected to be in the 75th weight percentile and a big head, so a c-section is something I might have to do.

Pregnant with my third right now, first two were emergency csections so this time I don’t have the option to have a natural birth this time. I’m so anxious honestly!! My last pregnancy I had a spinal and they didn’t do a good job at helping me sit still when they did it. I also could see and still feel a lot of what was going on. I think the part I’m the most anxious about is when they pull my baby out and when they push on your stomach during surgery. The pain after when they come to check and push on your stomach after for me was awful both times.

Thanks for sharing your experience 🩵

What do they do for spinal and catheter if you are allergic to latex and silicone and will have an anaphylactic reaction to either material? When I had my two boys I was told they would have to use general anesthetic and use an intermittent catheter during surgery and use bed pans or bedside toilets once I was back in my room.
