placenta previa c-section pregnancy
I had an emergency C-section, so I didn't arrive at the hospital knowing that was my fate, but my daughter was in distress. I would get a belly wrap for extra support around your incision. Nobody gave me one, and I was miserable. I needed that extra support, especially when getting up and down. I would also say to pack a casual dress instead of pants for going home. You do not want ANYTHING near your incision. Also bring your own pillow bc when you leave the hospital, you need to put the pillow between your lap/belly and the seatbelt. Those things helped me a lot.
Me too. I had pre clampsia. Last two months of his pregnancy on bed rest in hospital I had him a month earlier. He’s healthy as an adult. Im so sorry you had a rough experience
@@suzyashby8777 Thanks for your kind words. I have a happy, healthy 13 yr old daughter, and I am SO thankful!
Praying for a healthy baby, healthy Mama, and safe and healthy delivery 🙏🏼🩵 Our God is so faithful!! We can trust Him🙌🏼
Praying for you. 🙏 I had my baby boy by emergency C-section. I had the same condition as you do. He didn't breathe for 4 minutes and weighed 3 lbs. He stayed in the NICU for 6 weeks. His doctor said he shouldn't be here and that should tell us that doctors aren't in control of everything! Prayer is powerful. He's 18 now and a soldier in the military!!!❤
Prayers for baby boy and you. I had a emergency C- section with my son I was 8 months but God is good. I was told I probably wouldn't have a baby they actually had put me in hospital to do a hysterectomy but they saved 1 tube and ovary so I had a 30 percent chance of ever having a baby but God... I was pregnant in about 3 months after that and carried him 8 months he was in distress so a emergency C- section he was 6 pds was sent to Baptist hospital in North Carolina and was in nice for couple weeks and now is 38 years old so our God can do anything...Amen 😊
I had 3 c- sections and one complete placenta previa.. a small pillow is a must.. and dresses not pants. Stay ahead of the pain with your meds. REST REST REST. Remember you are recovering from surgery as well as childbirth…my baby will be 27 tomorrow so I’m sure things have changed but I remember the pillow. Gods in control of this precious life He has gifted you and your hubby 🙌🏻
It's going to be okay, mama! God's got it all planned out! All that matters is that you and baby are healthy!! That is an immense blessing! Once they place that sweet son in your arms, you won't care one bit if you had a c section or not. All of those cares won't bother you anymore. Just pray, trust God, and enjoy every minute!! God bless you. I will pray for you!! From one mama to another ❤️❤️
Plus a planned c section has an added benefit of being able to know ahead of time to get the babysitting in place instead of a chaos . Praying for your save delivery.
I just had my 3rd c section on the 4th. It’s nerve racking but not as bad as your mind plays it out . I would pack extra tall supportive underwear,a belly band ,soft pants and adult diapers. You got this mama ❤
It's ok to not be ok and it's ok to feel sad and disappointed too. Love you and God will work this out no matter what. Huge hugs and prayers for continued strength and that baby moves down and placenta moves up.
Shasta - God has this! It’s going to be okay.
My suggestions regarding c-section - I’ve had 2 as well as 2 VBACs. I recommend getting a binder belt (some hospitals give them, some don’t) - it helps as you’re moving around postpartum, to keep your incision from getting strained and it also helps you feel more secure.
Plan to not drive for a good while afterward - it is considered a significant enough surgery where you shouldn’t drive.
Your incision pain should easily be managed with the normal pain medications they give in the hospital, and then regular Tylenol or Advil after that. Just stay on top of the meds so they don’t wear off, as it’s harder to get on top of the pain after they’ve worn off.
You’ll still be able to hold and feed your baby. It helped me to put a Boppy around my waist while feeding so the baby didn’t press down on my incision.
*hugs* you’ve got this!
I have 7 and 5 were c-sections. My last two were because of complete previa, and the last also had accreta, which is not fun. I had 2 vbacs in the middle and I will admit, vaginal recovery is way easier. BUT... the c-section doesn't have to be bad. My first was a crash, code-red emergency c-section, so I was not at all mentally prepared and I was under general anesthesia. A scheduled c-section is much more calm and enjoyable. People gave great tips already, but I will add - like others said, stay on top of pain meds and don't be afraid to ask for something stronger if needed. My first c-sections I would feel good and forget to ask for the next dose (they don't always automatically give it to you) and by the time I got it and had it kick in I was in bad pain for an hour or two. Keep taking it on schedule, even if you feel good, at least for the first week. My last c-section they were also trying to get me by on just 800mg ibuprofen and Tylenol and I really needed to speak up to get something stronger. Your hospital stay will be longer and I needed my husband with me for physical help the whole time. Showering will be hard, wait until the meds are fully kicked in and take your time. Get everything laid out and ready before you get in. Sometimes they have a chair you can put in the shower. That was helpful for me at times; I would wear out in the middle of the shower and need to sit. For the actual birth, many hospitals are now allowing a clear drape, or they are pulling the drape down right when baby comes out so you can see, if you would like (you don't see anything too surgically graphic, just baby). Some are also allowing immediate skin to skin if baby is doing alright and delayed cord clamping. Just some things you might want to discuss in advance. Prepare yourself mentally for baby needing a visit to the nicu, in which case they do not let you hold them long if at all. Three of mine needed a very short stay with some cpap help. At home, plan to do the stairs very minimally. For me, I spent most of the day in my room the first week, but if I wanted be down on the couch I had everything I needed right there. Before baby was born I got all the essentials - diapers, wipes, burp cloths, nursing supplies, snacks, water, etc. - in a tote that I could have brought up or down. It is also nice to have a bassinet right by the couch and/or bed. It will be super important that Josh and your older girls help you do the little things at first. One thing I wasn't prepared for was getting out of bed at home. At the hospital you can tilt the bed up, but at home you are flat and feel stuck. When baby woke up to eat, my husband had to come around to help me sit up. I learned to roll on my side and use my arms to raise myself so I wasn't using my abs as much. Everyone is right about the pillow too... if you feel a sneeze coming or are laughing, grab a pillow! It is hard, but you can do it! It is okay to ask for a lot of help, even in the smallest things! I pray that your placenta will move though!
I have cried through this whole video I will be praying for you and hopefully everything will be fine and God will be with you through it all 😊
I had 3 c sections. This was over 30 years ago. Have a pillow with you to place against your tummy. You will be given deep breathing and coughing exercises daily. Yeah, it is horribly painful to even move your eye balls, much less follow drs orders. The pillow will be your best friend for a few weeks. You have to get up and move to prevent blood clots and from developing pneumonia and to help with the soreness and mobility. The nurse will have you up and moving a few hours after delivering. It’s severely painful post c section especially your first section, just being honest. You will do fine Shasta, you have a wonderful support team. Prayers for you, the baby and your family. Keep us posted.
You look beautiful mama ❤. I've had 2 csections and my humble 2 cents is to make sure to take your pain meds and stay ahead of the pain. Listen to your body and don't be afraid to tell your nurse that you're hurting. Wishing you the best and quickest recovery, whatever method of delivery you have ❤
The Lord will be with you no matter what…I had an emergency c section with my first daughter…and had 4 daughters since then…every single one was a c section. Let me tell you something…that first cry of your sweet little baby will be just as amazing and precious. I always have had a feeling of being less than because I couldn’t deliver naturally…but God blessed me with 5 beautiful daughters.
How wonderful to have the ability to see a problem and put a plan in place. Imagine that without the ultrasound and going into labor with the placenta blocking the cervix . So happy for modern medicine.Baby boy is good and healthy. Yes it is an emotional time and you are a champ. Prayers for you!!,Liz
So sad that back then there were no ultrasounds. My babies were born in the 60s 70s. then 2 more in the late 80s . Finally saw my last 2 babies on ultrasound. Also disposable diapers were perfected by then!!
So sorry you had to go through a difficult time in 1974. @@CloudWatcher500
A belly band to help support when you first start walking and an extra pillow to hug when you cough
Shasta, I had placenta previa when I was pregnant with my daughter in 1981. Lost blood multiple times each month because the placenta was covering much of the cervical opening, and precious life-giving blood was pumping out of my body instead of recirculating as it should have. Was told thru the entire pregnancy that I would HAVE to have a C-section or the placenta would birth first and my baby would not survive. I was hospitalized during my 25th week. Only made it to my 26th week. My doctor took the weekend off, and another doctor I'd never met took over my care. I was further into labor than they realized, and the birth was suddenly shockingly imminent... by surprise. But guess what?!! When the new doctor did a vaginal check right before delivery, he discovered that my baby had somehow "gone around" the placenta!! He saw the top of her head! She was born at 26 weeks, weighing only 30 ounces! But today, she is 42 years old and has 2 sons of her own. She is perfect in EVERY way!! God is STILL on his throne, and I am the mother of a miracle. Don't let fear dictate the next few weeks for you. Faith speaks, and it has something to say!! Put God's word in your mouth and "let it fly!!" (I love you and your precious family!)
A nice, firm cough pillow, especially when you get home. Prayers
I’ve had 2 c-sections. The first was not planned, the second was planned. Didn’t need anything different. Recovery was perfectly fine. Honestly the worst was the gas pains I had for a day or so. Hot tea and walking the floors in the hospital helped that. Lol. My “babies” are now 36 and 33!! You will do just fine. No worries. ❤️🙏
Sending prayers for a healthy delivery for both baby and momma.
I honesly think i needed less at the hospital since i was having a c section.
I bought a belly binder wrap but my hospital gave me one that was better, ask if the hospital provides one or not. It was a huge game changer from my last 2 c sections.
I slept on my couch the first week because my bed is high and it was uncomfortable for me to get into. Your stairs may cause some uncomfortableness also.
Take the pain meds they offer. Dont let the pain get ahead of you. The doctor will prescribe you a safe dose dont be afaid to use it, because if the pain does get to bad its harder to get back under control. By the third day i was only needing ibuprofen and tylonal but everyones pain tolerance is different.
Stool sofener is very important because the meds can constipate you and it can hurt to push because of your incision.
Let people help you. When you getting up, when your taking care of the baby, when you need something, let someone else give you a hand so you dont over do it. Moving around promotes healing but over doing it will not.
Im sure i will think of more things and i will continue to give you ideas.
Just remember its totally ok to be sad and upset about it not going the way you were hoping. But there are people who elect c sections for some of the positive parts of them. I was perfectly ok having my second two c sections after I labored for 15 hours then had a emergency c section with my first. The doctors do these all the time and its completely safe. Plus you will get to hold that sweet baby boy even quicker, the actual c section only takes about 30-45 minutes.
I had a c section when I gave birth to my twins. Loose comfortable pajamas or a loose maxi dress is a must. Pillow for your tummy to help with comfort and pressure afterwards if you cough is a must too. Hang in there. It's going to be alright. God is in control.❤
I know you know this, but aren’t you grateful they can see these things? Years back, it would’ve been a not so great outcome. It can still happen that the placenta moves. 🙏🏼We will pray that happens.I was dead set against C-sections. Until I had my first. I was so grateful she was here, and safe. And my 2nd was also a C-section ( both big babies) 9 lb.,sunny side up. And a 10.9 lb. I will pray for your baby ( and you) to be healthy and well ! We know that God has a plan , and sometimes it’s different than what we had in mind. But, I know you trust him ,and know you and baby boy are taken care of.🥰🙏🏼🥰👶🏻🙏🏼
I had 2 c-sections in 12 months. Definitely get a belly wrap for recovery. Also, be aware that sometimes nerves do not heal correctly after the surgery and you can possibly have spots that are numb on your belly area. I could not wear jeans for at least a year because of the nerve pain issues that I had. Lots of other moms I know did not have that issue.
It is very hard to stand up out of a seated position holding your baby while you are healing. That was the worst part for me. I had a one year old & a newborn, both still needing Mom in the night while Daddy slept right through the mayhem!
Covering you and baby boy with prayer. I know God has a plan and will work all things for his good. Praying for peace and calmness over your mind and body.
Shasta I will be praying for you. I had a c-section at 35 with my son. He was unable to turn and was lodged in place for basically the whole pregnancy. I didn't learn until afterwards that he was a miracle baby, I have a severely septate uterus (my uterus is almost divided into two so it is heart shaped). I want to encourage you that c-sections are not scary. It was not what I had planned or what I wanted but the Lord knows his plans and He had me covered and He will cover you too! Get a belly wrap to help you start healing those muscles in your lower abdomen after the surgery. I wore a loose fitting maternity dress home from the hospital. Depending on the stitches or tape they use to close your incision you will care for it differently, just listen to the care instructions because it is different depending on their techniques.. My uterus was cut horizontally and vertically because of my anatomy, so I had a lot of pain. But I was lucky that they taped my abdominal incision, I think it healed nicely because of that. Please accept the pain medicines and don't delay them until you feel pain. (I did this and it took a long time for the meds to take effect). Realize that you will need time to rest and not do any lifting or much of anything other than taking care of your son. Try to have the freezer stocked with meals for 6-8 weeks. If you need the nursing staff to give you breaks from the baby so that you can rest, this is even more important with a c-section. Wipe your tears, you are stronger than you realize. 💕
Lean on your family for strength and love they would love to help you You got this mama
My nephew was breech which turned out to be a blessing in disguise because he passed meconium during delivery. He was also ten pounds! They wanted to do a c section but he decided he didn’t want that and came out behind first
I had my son c-section. It was not planned. Things developed during labor so it was an emergency one. I did not have anything along to help with that. I would highly recommend that you take along a thin pillow and place it between your stomach and the seatbelt for on the way home. Also, a step stool to assist you into the van. I know that you can get in and out okay now, but you will know and be glad for it later on. Wear something really loose for on the way home. I had pants along, but a nurse suggested that I stay in my flannel nightgown that I had brought to sleep in. It was cold outside because it was into November but we had had snow. So I wore that nightgown, socks with shoes and my coat. My husband made sure the car was warm. After getting home make sure you follow the doctors instructions for sure. Climbing stairs, vacuuming, carrying anything over 5 pounds, doing anything really stressful was out for me. Our bedrooms were upstairs so I set up a bassinet for the baby and made a bed for me on a loaned single bed downstairs for the first week, then my doctor okayed me to climb stairs just to go up at night. I could not carry anything while climbing the stairs. Keep the incision very clean. It will be painful but important to keep it clean. Nursing will be very painful, especially the first few days. Be very careful of pain meds. The doctors say they are not harmful and go through your milk, but they do. I just took Tylenol (extra strength) but did not do that very often. I just cried and worked through it. Having a pillow across your stomach when nursing baby makes it more comfortable. That is all that I can remember. If anything else comes along in my memory I will pass it on to you. Do not fret about it. Just think of all of the women c-sections have saved over the years. Many, many women would have died during childbirth if it was not discovered. The Lord will be with you and He knows what is best. Take care and keep on resting. I know that I have mentioned that a lot but it is so important. Let His peace wash over you and into your heart and mind.
I’ll be praying for you and your baby boy. Give up your worries to Him, for He cares for you. God is in control, you’re in good hands. 🤍
I am so sorry to hear the placenta hasn't moved yet. I totally sympathize with your feelings. I went through a stressful few weeks leading up to the birth of my last child, and ended up with a csection. My deliveries before this were also uncomplicated vaginal deliveries. So I completely understand the emotions surrounding not wanting a csection. I will be praying all gets resolved and that a csection won't be needed. Sending you a virtual hug 🤗 and prayers ❤🙏🙏🙏God bless!
Psalm 91 is my favorite also. Brings me such peace. So excited for baby boy. Praying for a safe delivery and a healthy baby. I know the girls must be ecstatic. He will be spoiled.
What is important is that precious baby boy comes into the world healthy. Both my children were c-sections and actually the recovery was easy. I am so excited regarding his arrival and to know his name. You take care of you during this time and rest and do not over do it. Now its crunch time to get his things ready mama. You have looked beautiful during your pregnancy.
Oh Shasta! I’m sorry the placenta previa has not resolved (as of yet!!!) 🤞🙏🏻 I feel this so much. I juuuust had baby #9 (our 2nd girl 😅) not quite 3 weeks ago. I was diagnosed with placenta previa at my 20 wk appointment. By God’s grace it had moved by a 32 wk appointment. I was able to have a natural delivery like all my others but there was a LOT of trust in God that His will be done, whatever it was. I’m praying for you that it does move…but if not, God has you! It’s all in His plan and will, and you are strong 💪 and resilient and can totally handle a c-section. Praise God we live in times where this kind of technology is life-saving. 🙌 Many prayers for you and baby boy these last few weeks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💖💙💖💙💖💙
I thank you, Jesus that Shasta and baby boy are in your hands. You are forming him in her womb and all of his days as well as hers are written in Your book. You will never leave or forsake her. You are with her and You give Your angels charge over her. We ask Your will be done for this sweet momma and baby in Jesus name. Amen!
I saw this video appearing on utube and ran over to see what the Dr said. I do pray God's peace be in you as you journey down this road. I promise I will stay praying all the way through. A healthy baby boy and healthy you is the main thing right now whatever that looks like. We trust God.
I tried to have nursing friendly maxi style dresses on hand so that I didn’t worry about pants waist bands rubbing on my scar. And getting up and walking seems terrifying after the surgery, but just do it! You’ll feel so much better. Praying for you!
I had two C-sections and keep a small pillow against your stomach for when walking or any movement! It really helps a lot and also if you have to cough!! Sending hugs and prayers for you and baby!!!
Hi Shasta! I know a C- section is not what you were planning on, but the fact that it can be scheduled is a good thing. I had an emergency C-section with my 2nd son( 1st was a vaginal delivery). While I was in hospital a few extra days, there was no complications and I was able to nurse him without problems. Having support at home will be important. Keep up your nutrition and hydration and rest for now. Praying for you and baby boy.
I had 3 csections. The planned ones aren't really that bad bc it's not an emergency. You just go in on baby day! Don't know ab must haves. Just give yourself grace in your recovery. Follow the doc orders and don't pick up anything heavy, etc. You are so sore in the beginning, but every day gets better and easier. It is so much tougher to recover when you have other small kids, but thankfully you have Teen girls and Josh who can help.
I had a C Section 39 years ago. Went in for my check up and was scheduled for the c section the next day because they saw something (that was 39 years ago) and everything turned out fine. I didn't have any stitches on the outside only inside so i didn't have to do anything for the wound. We went home with a 9 lb 10 oz girl in 3 days. I'm praying for you and baby boy but I'm SURE y'all will be fine. The Lord loves you.
Don’t panic about the c-section. I had 4 over 30years ago. Getting baby out safely is the important thing
I’m praying for you, Shasta. For a healthy baby and an easy delivery!
Hi Shasta. Praise God baby boy is ok. That's most important. I understand how you feel about having to possibly have a C-section this time, but please know it's whatever keeps you both safe. I've worked as an OB nurse and have seen many over my 20+ years. If it comes to that, you will both be fine, Josh can be there with you, and you'll still have a beautiful experience. I guess he's just showing you from the get-go how stubborn boys can be lol. It will probably end up being the big talk when it's all said and done, because people always think girls are easier. Haha, my mom had 4 boys before me and she would tell a different story lol. So, just rest and take care of yourself and baby boy. We'll be praying for you, but remember, God never gives you more than you can handle. Could you even imagine what women went through hundreds of years ago? You've got this sweetie. You'll all be just fine. 💕
I found a belly binder really helped with recovery. The pressure helped my uterus and also helped with keeping my back and abdomen stable. My hospital gave me one, but some hospitals do not. It's definitely something I'm glad I used.
Shasta I am praying for you everyday!!!!
I did not have a C-section but as long as you trust your Dr you will be fine. I know you don’t want that but trust the Lord!!!! I pray for you. Please don’t cry. The lord will stear you in the right direction!!! Thinking of you ❤❤❤
Continuing prayers for you and your family 🙏 ❤️
I had a C-section with my first baby and a vaginal delivery with my second baby and I would much rather have a C-section.I had a lot less pain in recovery with the C-section.Praying for you all.
I don't know if it will help; but I had two c-sections and I have two beautiful girls and two amazing grandkids. You can do this. I wasn't expecting my first c-section and it was scary but I was in great hands. It's all about a healthy mom and baby.
I had a c-section with my youngest. Praying all goes well for you and you don’t need it. All I would say is definitely pack some dresses. You aren’t going to want anything on your stomach. Also a small flat pillow to hold against your stomach for when you are getting up. It helps support your incision without putting direct pressure on it. I also used this trick after have abdominal surgery. Other than that just rest. So exciting to know your little one could be here soon!!
Sounds like our Heavenly Father is preparing you for what His plan is. Prayers for you and the baby to have a safe and healthy delivery!
I have only had one emergency C-section at 32 weeks. My advice is get up and start walking asap. I would stretch again my husband back so I wasn’t slumped over and it help. I used very minimal pain meds. Everyone was shocked how I was walking. I had to take it easy due to severe preeclampsia.
3x C-Section mommy here … get a Belly Band and wear it after you give birth it makes it easer to to everything after your surgery . Blessings
All hope is not lost. I want to encourage you to continue in prayer for the delivery you are hoping for. God bless you.
A small pillow for when you cough. It helps tremendously held tight to your abdomen. I've had 2 c-sections and have never been in labor. Therefore I know nothing about all the pain and struggling of childbirth. C-sections were a walk in the park for me, having never known the difference.
I don't comment very often, but I had a unplanned C-section with my 4 yo son, was not a emergency, and it was the best decision I made. I would chose to do a C-section again if you asked. It's actually a very super safe way to deliver when things get complicated. At the end of the day, you want him here and safe.
You will do great and he'll be here safe and sound ❤
Shasta, just give your worries a rest and remember “God is good all the time”. I know it’s easy for me to say however, I’ve been in your shoes. Praying for you and baby boy!
Yes! Thank you! ❤️
I had 3 C/S and at the hospital didn’t need anything different. A thin pillow for the seatbelt is a good idea. At home a pillow for support when you’re coughing . The best advice is to be up and walking. That helps with gas pains and soreness. The nurses at the hospital will be very helpful.
Prayers for you and your sweet baby...
The hardest part of a C section is the after! And maybe the epidural. Ive had 2 and my first one was freak out city! ❤ ill keep you in my prayers ! You got this ❤❤❤
Hi Shasta😊 I've had 6 C Sections. I would definitely recommend an abdominal binder. My hospital actually gave them out but you had to ask for one. The snug pressure it provides makes it feel so much better. Also, for the first few days after if you feel a cough or laugh coming on hold a pillow firmly against your lower abdomen. If you do end up needing a C Section you'll do great! I'll be praying for you and baby boy ❤
Praying for the Lord to to take your worry away and for him to make a way with moving the placenta out of the way and to make a way for a safe and healthy delivery 🙏🙏🙏
Praying for you, Shasta!❤️🙏🏻👶
Prayers for a safe delivery! Prayers that God will calm your nerves about the c-section. My sister has had 4 c-sections. I have a homeschool mama friend who has had 9 c-sections.
🙏🏻💙 God will see you thru and you are a strong woman.
I had 3 csections because my 1st baby was 10 lbs, 4ozs. It is not bad at all. You will be fine! Prayers!
You will do great! It is emotional time. I had 2 c-sections over 40yrs ago. I did great Things are better now. You will sail through it!
Praying with you, for a safe delivery and a healthy baby. ♥️🙏🏻
❤❤❤ praying for you!!!!! It will all work out according to God's will. It'll be okay!!!! I understand the nerves and the worry that come along with delivering a new baby either vaginally or by c section but either way, you'll do fantastic!!!!! And the silver lining is that with a c section, you won't need to endure labor! Hugs 🤗
The good thing is that the doctor has decided you will have to have a c-section if things don't change. At least you have time to adjust to possibly having to have a c-section. So no surprises and you have time to breath and think about how blessed you are that you are doing well and so is baby boy. God can do anything, so now you have to wait and see what direction you are headed. Again at least you have heads up of what the plans are for your situation now. Planning ahead of time is always the best, so you aren't so shocked if you do have to have a c-section. You are in the best hands and God knows exactly how things are going to go. We just have to trust Him. I have to tell myself in different situations all the time. I'm always having to ask Him to forgive me for not trusting Him like I should. We sometimes want to handle things ourselves, and do it the way we feel best, but that is impossible. God knows best! You both are doing great and that is excellent news to hear. Praying for you. No matter what we have a tendency to worry about things. I am so guilty of that. I'm trying to do better and just talk and pray to God more. He is there for us 24/7. Hope today you are full of joy knowing baby boy will be here soon!
Praying for you Shasta. I had 3 csections and sometimes the belly band is ok and other times not. I used one with only one of my recoveries because it can be uncomfortable. Also stay on any pain meds and get a good schedule for pain control. Definitely bring to the hospital night dresses instead of pants. Way more comfortable. Also a bathrobe and comfy slippers. I also worked on a maternity unit for 15 years as a nurses assistant so I have good tricks to help you get comfortable and have some relief.
I’m glad you have accepted Gods new road to this journey.
Hi shasta❤ I’m about a week ahead of you with baby num 6 I had to have a c section at baby number 3 . I remember how devastated I was when I learned I had to have one- keep your head up in Jesus❤ it will work out.
I had a c section. Granted, it was a long time ago. It was not terrible. The only thing I can tell you is to bring a comfy robe and slippers, so you can walk around with ease. I send you you lots of love. Your little boy will be the beautiful result
I have had 3 c-sections!!!
1. Boppy Pillow
2. Pillow if you need to cough or sneeze
I have no advice whatsoever on C-sections. Any labor & delivery tips I have are 42 years old, so forget that 😊 BUT we are praying for health & strength & peace. And that all the family preparations go smoothly as you make ready 🙏💙
Thank you so much sweet lady! ❤️
I had two C-section. With my first son he will be 13 on Friday. But take soft clothes to wear home from the hospital bc of your abdomen being cut open and your not want your clothes to hurt your stomach area . Also DONT LAY FLAT ON YOUR BACK AFTER YOUR C-section BC YOUR STOMACH IS GOING TO HURT REAL BAD. U might be in hospital for about three or four days also bc of your C-section. But the end is all worth it. Also god has a plan for u and baby boy.
Praying for you and the baby. Also a safe delivery. Love you
Back when I had my first child 47 years ago I had an emergency c-section. Back then they didn’t do ultra sounds so I probably had the same thing as you have because my cervix was blocked and I started hemorrhaging. If they had known in advance they could have scheduled my section. But all in all the Lord took care of me and my baby. Recovery will be different for you because I was cut up and down and that takes longer to recover you most likely will be cut bikini cut and that is an easier recovery. You will do fine. You are in my prayers.
Reading the comments and it is truly amazing how many of us have had csections to make sure that we and are babies were safe. It is crazy to think that before these things were available the outcome for a lot of us would have been so different. Shasta I am so sorry that your birth plan may have to change. I know from personal experience how devastating that can be and our pregnancy hormones don't help us cope with the change thats for sure. I've had 2 csections both planned because of medical reasons on my part. When I went for my last ultra sound the week before my delivery was scheduled with my 2nd child my mother had passed away unexpectedly a couple of days before so my emotions were already high but then I found out that my doctor would not be available to do my csection so I was going to have to have someone I didn't even really know do it. Lets just say I did not handle it well. I pretty much lost it and the doctor was so nice. She stayed and reassured me and was so sweet. In the end everything worked out but in that moment it seemed so big and out of my control. I agree with everyine else about the belly band and the pillow and staying ontop of the meds. But I will add that it helped me to buy the adult underwear/diapers and I would definitely talk to your doctor about stool softeners because nobody told me so I'll share with you that your bowel movements afterward might be excruciatingly painful. It might not be that way for everyone but no one evem mentioned that it was a possibility so I thought I was dying it hurt so bad because all of your insides are still trying to realign. Also they probably won't let you leave the hospital until you pass gas to make sure everything is working right. And when they press on your stomach after is the worst. Definitely make sure you get up and walk around as much as possible. Its hard but you can do this. I had to do it with a 23 month old and the baby by myself cuz my husband had to go back to work immediately so take the help if you can get it. I will continue to pray that God has a different plan for you but if this is His plan you will make it through because He makes us moms strong 😊❤
Use a belly band or pillow for abdomen support. Take your pain med as prescribed at first so you're on top of the pain before it gets too painful. Don't drink with a straw so you won't have as much gas! Make sure you move around. Expect good days followed by a rough day at first. Make sure you drink a lot! Don't push yourself too hard. If you're shorter like me crawl into the bed instead of trying to lift yourself up in the bed.
My 1st baby was an unexpected c-section..my son was breech. Take it easy after..you will be sore..but you have so many daughters to help you…Our Lord will get you thru it…praying for a safe delivery & healthy baby boy! God bless.
Praying for you sweetie and I know God has heard all of us. ❤😊
I had this with my 4th child. Unfortunately I watched horror stories on UA-cam about it and had myself all worried and upset for months about it. It had no harmful effects on me nor baby and I was able to have a natural birth at 39 weeks. Just take it week by week. They told me I would have to have c-section as well but I had them do ultrasound right at the end and placement of placenta had moved to side. Maybe you will be able to do the same. I know so many moms out there who have had c-section with no complications. I feel for every bad story out there, there are many good outcomes for this that others have just not shared, like mine!❤
the belly band/wrap is a must, in my opinion! my only child was born by c-section and i never had a belly band then, but its abdominal surgery so necessary! also, check to see if you can still nurse while on pain meds. i couldn't for the first few days and wasn't prepared for that, either.
its all in god's hands and you and baby boy will be just fine!
I have been enjoying watching your channel for a few months now. We are a homeschooling family also and live in North Carolina. I just had my 4th baby (boy) 2 weeks ago, this time had to have an emergency c section. I just went for my 2 week incision check this past Thursday. I would say alot of what these other sweet comments have said, binder for support, pillow for coughing, sneezing, laughing. Roll out of bed using your arms instead of abs. A recliner may help for a few nights when you first come home instead of having to lay flat in bed, stay on top of medications. Take it easy, and one thing I've been telling myself is each day you get a little stronger and better. I have also read your comments to see any tips and encouragement since this is my first c section also. I will be praying for you and your sweet baby. God is in control and will keep you safe and protected!❤
Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️ congratulations! ❤️
@Abiding.Farmhouse thank you so much and congratulations to you as well!!🙂❤️
Praying for you ❤ I have had 2 c sections my first was twins… my twins are 6 and my son is 2 and honestly I don’t remember it being horrible because I was just so caught up in the moment with my babies that having them healthy and in my arms helped keep my mind off of the pain but I will say keep up with the pain medicine even if you don’t think you need it take it just like they say like every 4-6 hours because if not you will regret it. Also gowns were my best friend the first few days because you’re not going to want anything rubbing your incision. Pack loose fitting pants or a comfy dress for coming home & I wore night gowns the whole time I was in the hospital. Also don’t over do it but as soon as they will let you get up and try to walk do it! The long you put that off the worse you feel. Don’t do to much but I felt like I healed quicker because I was up walking as soon as they said I could. Good luck you will do great! Can’t wait to see baby boy!😊
I had c-section and everything was so smooth! Enough where I requested c-sections after that 😂
Iv had 3 c section myself one Emergency 2 Scheduled , although they came two weeks before that.. Two of my babies was cut up and down and 3ed was side by side.
Everyone's c section is alittle different but a must is a Pillow and Dresses u wont want nothing around it.. when u sneezes or cough definitely use your pillow try hard to start walking after to help the healing process and dont lay to long so less chances or blood clots etc. ❤❤ u got this momma everything will be okay the lord will be watching over you and baby boy🩵💙🩵💙 🙏
Urgent c section with my first after days of labor. Didn’t take the belly binder. Big mistake.
Second section was scheduled. Like night and day. Took the binder.
Sending prayers
The goal is healthy momma and healthy baby. However baby boy gets here is fine. It’s OK to be all in your emotions. 💕
Never heard of belly band with my 4 c-sections but I got through it ok! Those babies were good so I was too😉I must admit I cried with the news of c-section with first one. It’s scary and disappointing. You’ll have lots of extra hands to help you during recovery. Prayers❤️
I have had 2 csections and didn’t really have any issues. With my first one the end of my incision opened and got infected so I had to have an antibiotic but it healed just fine. I know every one is different. I’ve never had a vaginal birth so I don’t know how to compare the two. You really need to take it easy for a couple weeks afterward and try not to do to much which I know is hard to do. But I know you have a lot of helpers. Prep the house and stock up on groceries and freezer meals because all you need to do is heal and take care of baby. 😊
Praying that God moves that placenta and baby is healthy
I had 2 emergency c-sections due to complications, and you will do fine! I was really sore if I had to bend over, so try to keep everything you will need for the baby at arms level. I didn't require anything extra, though.
I have 4 children and 3 were C-Sections. With the first C-section I tried not take any pain medication....not very smart😅 b/c the pain with walking was horrendous. So make sure you use the pain meds. The other two was great, no major problems. Honestly, if I had to choose between vaginally or C-section I would choose C-section.
Bless your heart. Thankful for a healthy baby,🙏
Praying for you and baby boy!! Either way the Lord is going to take good care of you both 🙏🏼❤️
Either way you have your son as long as he's healthy ❤😊😊. But FAITH over Anxiety 😊
Praying that you have a safe delivery, whether vaginal or c-section , as well as a safe recovery. But know that no matter what, our God is in control. Sending you many blessings from Augusta, Ga.💐
Shasta, I never had a c section with my babies, so I can’t answer any questions. What I can say, is your faith will carry you through. HE has a plan for baby boy and you. You always said you felt this baby would be early, the Lord was preparing you to get things packed for the hospital ahead of this news. Isn’t it amazing how the Lord works !!!!
Praying things change and no csection will be necessary!
