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
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!
That's my first daughter's birthday . Mom of 3 here all C - Sections . Just found out I'm pregnant again . So kinda nervous
Wishing you a healthy baby and happiness with your new family ❤️
I’m scheduled for the 14th hope yours goes well
I’m also scheduled for a repeated C-Section December 6, 2021! Wish you the best ❤️ We’re almost there !
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 UA-cam. This is my first child and I am highly anxious, yet you really helped me relax by sharing everything in detail. I know it's been 2 years since you posted this, but I hope you're still reading these comments. I really thank you!!!
I have my section July 25th for my 1st baby because she's breech. Whens yours? I'm anxious too. Best wishes mama ❤️
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
I’m having a C-section done in 3 days and I am so anxious. Up and until a week ago I was mentally preparing for natural birth, my heart is beating out of my chest just thinking about it 😢
I hope everything went well and you are enjoying your baby and now everything is just a story to tell.
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
After having my first baby a month ago..... I seriously wish everybody the best... everybody's is different but gosh it was rough. You got this ladies!
How are you now?? How was your recovery??
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❤
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.
My daughter is having a c sec in two days because her baby is breech, praying for them both to come through it well
I am 38 weeks pregnant. I felt this video is really helpful. Thank you for creating it.
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.
I have no choice but to get a c section due to a heart condition
This really helped and put me at ease tbh
Thank you 💕
Same here girl
How did your c section went with your heart problem, I have a heart issue and going to do a c section and scared
@@amielabuckley6164 honestly glad I had the c section in the end! I had hoped to push
But the whole process was truly a breeze!
I waited longer for the OR then giving birth lol
I had a spinal (3 needles in your back for numbing)
That was truly the only painful part of it all! And recovery of course
But once the numbing stuff kicks in
You feel nothing for hours after too
I didn't gain feeling in my legs till about 3 hours after birth
The recovery process isn't the worst either
Very sore for about a week after
But I was walking again the same day I gave birth
My heart was Fina as well
We decided to give birth at HOP
Which has CHOP across the street just incase the baby was born with the same condition as me
Thank God she wasn't and so far everything is good with her heart
But I still worry they didn't find my heaty condition till I was 4yrs old
Most children with my condition don't make it after 6months without surgery
I'm so glad I came across this video. I'm about to have my second c-section and had no idea if have to be away from my boyfriend for the spinal tap. I have sever anxiety and was shaking with my first emergency C-section. I'm glad I can mentally prepare for that and stay calm in those moments he's away from me
currently 33wks pregnant with a baby boy at 18, always told myself i’d do a c section and now i’m getting closer and closer to having my little man this calmed me down so so so much, the best educational and informative video i’ve seen yet THANK YOU
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. 😊
You did explain exactly what happened, very versatile good information and spot on! All mothers to be having c section should use your information 😊
Thank you for talking about this in such a calm and clear manner!
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.
Well done. No drama. Very compassionate! Thank you 😊
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!
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 💛
Expecting twins this year. I'm projected to have a c section. Thank you very much for this video ❤️
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
I have ptsd and am almost 38 weeks pregnant and I have had two vaginal deliveries. 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
I’m in the same boat so nervous
Thanks for your encouragement..ur words really uplifted my spirit after having a CS
I had a c-section earlier this year and this video was sooooo helpful. Thank you!
Mom at how many weeks was your c-sectionsdone? 38-39
I cringed my way through this video, but I feel like I’d rather be prepared than not. Surgery freaks me out. Stitches freak me out. I’m due in December with my first and I hope so much I can give birth vaginally. You C-section moms are so tough! So much respect for you 💪🏻
how did it go for you?
This is so insane to say. Look at the vaginal births they are a horror film. C section takes minutes and any pain that’s no where near like pushing out a baby subsides within hours plus ur monitored. No one screams lost c section the way they do at vaginal birth.
This is such a great video! Thanks so much for posting this
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!
Me 2 im also due in july.
Same here due in july
Why was your C section so awful? The 'bad experiences' give me anxiety...
@@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.
Thank you so much! This is extremely helpful to ease anxiety and nervousness about the procedure.
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🥰💖
Omg me too just give birth feb 15 its my 2nd c section as well.. now im here at house just got home yesterday..
Me too after 6 years from the first child . Was csection also . In 3 weeks im going to have csection
Great opening I love the clips and the music I'm definitely going to watch this video
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! 🎉
Thank you. My c section is scheduled in 2 weeks. Very helpful
I have to get a c section because I am expecting triplets. This put me so at ease, and made me feel more comfortable going into this as a first time mom.
You're comment made my day! Congratulations! I hope everything goes smoothly for you! :)
Congratulations!!! I pray in Jesus name for a healthy delivery/C section for you. May God give you all the guidance and tools you need to be a Super Mom of 3. What a Blessing! CONGRATS!
I am expecting triplets in July. I also was nervous about the c section. This was helpful!
How did your C sections with triplets go? I am having a panic attack because I am pregnant now with triplets?
I'm expecting twins in July and I'm nervous
The strong cramps after the c section is real! I didn't know before I having c section it was shocking, thanks fir sharing to us.
Thank you so much❤️ Very informative🙏
Awe congrats! Loved this video! I had two c-sections with my babies, one was an emergency c-section and I’ll be having my 3rd c-section in 6 months! Btw, What state do you live in? Because it’s so beautiful outside where you were when u looked out the window at the hospital! We are looking to move to a more beautiful mountainous state like Colorado or something❤️🙏😇
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
8 years ago I had an emergency csec, going in for my planned one for number 2 in 17 days. Thank you for this video. Just feel natural.
You can plan a C Section?
Yes you can schedule one in Australia
This was recommended to be before my due date back in Jan and I thought surely I wouldn’t need to watch this. Had to get an emergency C-section Jan 24th and I so wish I watched this before hand.
This is the most helpful video ! Thank you so much !! Amazing ❤️❤️❤️
This video was really helpful and you're so positive:)
Your description is on point!
Thanks for all the super helpful information.
Thank you so much, this was very insightful.
This is an amazing video! I’m due Feb 1 2022 via c-section and I really needed this just to put my mind at ease 🙏🏾
You will have a great delivery 💕💕 :)
Good luck
Good luck tomorrow love ♥️♥️
Hope it went well for you ❤️
Hope you had a safe delivery
Thank you this video was hopeful. I had an emergency C-section and unfortunately my husband couldn’t be there because they had to put me to sleep because our baby girl heartbeat was dropping so they had to move fast. After she was born and I woke up to her and we did skin to skin. I wasn’t planning on C-section but this video helps. I got a lot of pain but I’m managing and walk as much I can.
The same exact thing happened to me , you’re doing great mama!
@@summerkaymays9917 thank you ❤️
getting put to sleep when you're about to give birth is such a scary thing :( happened to me too.
Congrats everyone 🥰 great video great information.
I just had a c-section during the birth of my twins. Super painful about 48 hours after the surgery. I did not take enough pain medication. But if you don’t, You will feel a burning sensation and pulling.
Great information!! Thanks. I’m getting my c section in t minus 3 hours!! Can’t wait to hold my baby boy!!
I just had a c section two weeks ago and it was so painful. The recovery was crazy. I’m think I can only do this one more time.
@@nicoledang27 I had an emergency c section for my first 10 years ago, a vbac (which was intense recovery from a tear and horrible constipation) and then this c section spinal 2 weeks ago. It took a good 6 days of recovery to start feeling better. It sure was intense! Plus I’m older. I hope you are feeling better!
@Celeste I will sure like to hear your experience as an older mom. Same here
How did it go? Hope you and baby are doing well 💗
@@nicoledang27 do you have any tips for recovery and pain management? I'm having one in a few weeks and I'm so nervous.
I had a emergency c section as well and I also wish I had watched at least a few videos on what to expect. It would have helped me be much calmer during the process.
This video was extremely helpful! ❤️
Really loved this video ❤
Thank you so much for this video!
Currently 38 weeks get my c section in the 6th of may 2022. This video is so detailed and I love it!!! I’m scared but I’m hoping for the best! ❤️
Having my first baby and csection on the 2nd of May.. sending prayers..💝
Mine is also May 6th 2022. 🎊🥰
@@KM-kdt5311 Hope you and baby are doing well. ❤️
Mine is 10th May 2022
I am going in for one in 2 or 3 weeks, and I am so nervous! Thank you for this information
Thank you. What an informative video.
I forgot to take my pain medication the morning they were to get me up, and the PAIN. I will never forget it and next time, I will ensure I take them.
Oh yeah I will never forget it too 🙁 I almost fainted from pain and I couldn't even walk or stand up straight
This is the most informative video.
This was very informative 👍🏾
This video actually helped calm me down at the thought of having a c section thanks to my daughter currently being breech at 35 almost 36 weeks. It's a very real possibility that I will have to have one and I'm terrified. I'm also worried about recovering with my rowdy 2 year old son so I'll have to arrange for help with him.
Who else literally feels like UA-cam is their best friend during Covid ? 😆😆😆
My water broke at 39 weeks a day before my C section appointment. It was so scary but God is great. I had only anesthesia bcuz it was an emergency c section. My first C section and I Salute all mothers that go through this 🙌🏼
I’m having my second cesarean in one week exactly… 🤞🏼 first was emergency, this one is planned. But my first one was chaotic and almost 10 years ago, so I forgot almost everything and I’m very nervous about this one.
Thanks for a great video ❤
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?
Having a section tomorrow, this helps
Very informative , very pleasant video - thank you and best wishes xxo
Very helpful and informative
Thankyou for this! I have had both births n the normal birth i felt normal few days after..the C section was very painful after for weeks.. and not to Say the tension ,reaction to the medications..n panick attacks you get during the delivery..the c section was very painful too..from the catheter..learing to walk,eat ,sit ,stand straight ..carry things again ..from the Scar itching n hurting Years after..something most dont understand.
This is helpful! Thank you
This video make me emotional
I m also 32 week pregnant
I had natural births for my first 2 kids but this one may end up in an emergency c-section due to polyhydramnois (extra amniotic fluid). So thanks for the info!
Memory lane 😮😮😮i am about to go for my 2nd C section in 3 weeks time. I'm not ready
Excellent video. Thank you
Very informative thank you for sharing :)
Thank you for this! ❤️
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.
Thank you for this, very helpful as I might go through c section since my baby is still in breech.
Same here. With you in spirit ❤️ we've got this
Same! How were your experiences?
@@essentiallylau I'm not due for another 5 week's haha but I'll let you know!
@@MakeLoveN0tWarcraft hehe ok. Best of wishes. I'm going in tomorrow!
@@essentiallylau I just had mine. I have uploaded my cs delivery here on my youtube channel. It’s been 2 weeks now. I feel great, my incision was just painful in the first night and for the first 2 days. After that I was walking normally without any problems. #1 tip for you, after surgery possibly after 8 hours try to walk! The earlier you walk the faster you will recover.
So helpful!🙏🏾💕
Thanks for sharing your experience 🩵
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.
About to have a C-section in exactly 2 weeks. I am so nervous!! This is our first child, and I’m so interested to know everything so I’m fully prepared!
All the best mommy
Thank you for this video. So informative x I’ve had 2 vaginal births and I will be having a C-section with my 3rd due to placenta previa. I am so nervous.
Hey hun how was your c section experience? I have the same problem and I’m scared
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
Thanks for the video ♥ I am very anxious about the postpartum after a c-section... I hope the pain is bearable😅
Both c-sectuon and vaginal birth sound so scary to me. But due to a pathological problem of mine , i am stuck with the c-section option only
Bethany, what kind of scar removal product did you use for your C-section? Your last part of video shows the dramatic change?
Wow thank you so much for sharing this 💗🥹
Great video!
thavk you for all of that information
I'm getting a c section next firday I'm so scared 😱 thank you for this video
I had my catheter inserted before I entered the operating room, most uncomfortable feeling because the nurse struggled lol. This video is so informative ❤️
I Made sure to ask that they inserted it after the block and take it out before the block finished. I didn't feel it at all!
I’m going for my second baby and I’m most scared of the catheter it was so uncomfortable 😣. Hopefully it won’t be so bad this time
Hello, ty for doing this video. I might have to have a C-section as my baby is breached but may still turn. Which one did you like better, the staples or the stiches and how long did it take for them to do them?
Thank you for making this video. Tomorrow is my scheduled c-section. Since im high risk t1d, I've been the whole pregnancy filled with fear about the consequences and dangers by the Dr and gynos. Some as scary as "you can die on the table!" And Ive done everything to avoid the dangers. Unfortunately, the little one is happy being breeched and refused to flip so Im stuck doing c-section. These last days have been emotional roller coaster fearing the worst but hoping for the best. Your video truly helped ease the tension i had and i thank you for that.
How was your experience I hope everything went well for you and and little one
Sending ❤
@evm13626 I was so stressed out the night prior, my sugars and BP were everywhere and had diarrhea 😂. The day of, I let them know and the team was super kind and joked with me and they let me know everything they were doing which was very helpful. I got in, they gave my my robe and had me changed. They took me and the husband to the recovery room. Checked my vitals and inserted the iv, put these boots on my legs which they will later pulse to keep blood flow . Hubby was given the scrubs but had him wait til they were ready. We arrived at 8am. Surgery wasn't til 10am. A nurse came in and did a final ultrasound tonmake sure baby was still breech (he was) At 9:30am the anaesthesiologist came in and explained everything we signed some final paperwork and they brought the wheelchair. Hubby was told to scrub up and wait outside. I was wheeled into the operating room (super cold and super intimidating) they had me sit on the table. Gyno came in and played music. A nurse stood in front of me and explained to bend over like a cat over a pillow while she helps me and I would feel a pinch but try not to move. The anaesthesiologist then rubbed something and I was expecting a bee sting but honestly, maybe my pain levels were high, it just tickled and then a second later, I felt a warmth from my stomach go down my legs. They then helped me on the table and strapped my arms. I heard from another video suggest to tap your fingers so you concentrate on that instead of your legs so I desperately tapped my fingers (but honestly I was more scared than anything it's not bad) you can't feel your legs at this point and you can't feel your toes move. Gyno and the team started rubbing this orange stuff and marking the location while the anaesthesiologist explained what he was connecting to my iv. There was two interns in my room which I joked around with cause they seemed more nervous than me. They finally put the curtain up. And Let me tell you, I was balling tears at this point, excited and nervous. I had mucus in my nose while the nurse by me cooed me that everything would be OK and put the hose on my nose for oxygen (they don't insert it, its just , on the surface) omg, the oxygen and my snot made bubbles and tickled my nose and I thought both my hands were strapped down. Found out quick on hand wasn't strapped and I thought someone messed up so when the two dr turned around I quickly scratches dmy nose and hid my hand. They brought the hubby in and then the nurse told me he left one arm loose just in case I needed to scratch so I felt like an idiot. 😅 anyways not even 5 mins the gyno was telling the hubby to take out the phone to take photos and videos. That's when we heard our baby and hubby nervously took photos. I was high risk t1d so they had to check the baby's vitals make sure his sugar didn't drop so they couldn't bring him to me asap but they had the hubby go to him. BTW you don't feel anything except what feels like someone moving your belly around and some slight pressure but no pain. Once the baby was ready they brought him to me. I was with him for a bit and then they had hubby and the baby go to the recovery room. I was in the room another 15 mins and they finished closing me. They brought another bed and pulled me onto it. By this time the tap was slowly going g away, still didn't feel anything but I felt my toes move (felt asleep) we were in the room for 2 hours had nurses checking on me 30 mins make sure I can move my legs. I was allowed 1 visitor at a time or I could've slept. I was so nervous I couldn't sleep so my close family one by one came to see see me.(baby was with nurse regulating his dropped sugar) once the 2hrs was good and I had a room, they rolled me to my room and baby was brought in if say 10 mins later.
HIGHLY RECCOMEND TO BREASTFEED ONCE THE BABY ARRIVES NO MATTER IF THEY SUFFER SUGAR DROPS. IF YOU CANT LATCH, ASK FOR A PUMP IF YOU DIDNT BRING ONE!!!
anyways, you can't eat anything for 24hrs so they give you juices and water. Make sure to raise your legs to get all that excess liquid out of your legs or you'll ve super swollen like me.
BTW you have a catheder so once the pitocin is gone, that's when they remove it. Feels weird being removed. They change you to the hospital undies with the big pad ifyo didnt bring your own. (Go a size bigger if you do buy depends)
After 6hrs a nurse comes in and helps you up. They give you this breathalyzer to test your lungs and they help you up. You slowly walk, (please be careful you will feel drunk and drowzy) everything else is just recovery which i think is worse thsn the surgery itself. You might feel strong to do it yourself, dont. Ask for help, this is your time to recover. 1st night you wont sleep at all. Between checking baby's breathing, feeding baby every 2 hours and just sore, you wont sleep. try to get rest the second day. BTW, gyno will come in and will remove the gauze over the incision. ASK THEN TO BE NICE CAUSE MINES RIPPED THE GAUZE AND I LEFT BRUISES ON THE POOR NURSES ARM FROM THE PAIN AND JUST NOT EXPECTING IT) other than that, its not that bad.
Ill have my C-section next week because I tried ECV procedure since i have a breech baby but unfortunately didnt work. Hope everything goes well. Im excited and scary at the same time.
I have a question how many days before you produce a milk because I really wanted to have exclusive breastfeeding for my baby.
Same thing happened to me. My baby has been breeched since 29 weeks. I’m now 39 weeks and she’s still. We tried and ECV and it didn’t work. So, I’m now scheduled for a c-section tomorrow morning.
My baby is now 2mos and 3 weeks now. I ended C-sec. I much like it than vaginal coz Ive been traumatized on my 1st one that i labor for 38hrs in high scale of pain. Unlike c sec after 30mins baby is out.
@@leymangundayao4207 that’s a great way to think about it. Thanks for that! Because I’ve been nervous and was upset in the beginning.
@@tinawain4187 just hangin in der. All the pain is worth it once u see ur bundle of joy! Promise once u see ur baby ul forget the pain that u had.
I needed the anesthesiologist to hold my hand until my fiancé could be let in the room.
I say this so that if you’re scared of feeling alone speak up and ask the nurse or anesthesia to talk to you to help calm you down and if you’re a weirdo like me freak out and ask them to hold your hands 😂
That is actually so sweet, and I bet that they wished everyone knew that they are there to hold hands, too.
@@nicolebailey1795 yes! He was actually very comforting and reassuring and it made all the difference for me.
Haha I also had to hold both my husbands and the anastesiologist hands because of the weird sensations. I think it’s a completely normal and instinctive reaction
@@IndigoMemoirs you’re right because my fiancé is also an anesthesia provider and I asked him if it is common. He said it happens all the time.
I had a nurse hold my hand once, her name is Ashley .. and it was so reassuring and calming
Hi Bethany, thank you for the video! Very informative. Do you remember them putting pressure on your abdomen after stitching you back up before transferring you to recovery? They did that to me and I didn’t understand the reason but it was so painful. Not sure why.
Worst part ! I didn't remember that with my first but they did it with my second and omg was it horrible.
This is pretty standard practice in US for both vaginally and cesarean deliveries to help the uterus shrink back to size and prevent hemorrhaging. The term they use is fundal massage but oh man it can hurt!
