Reply to "Beginning the Baby Journey- Dr Suggested No C-Section?"

How exciting!

My babies are already 6 and 9 years old, so I agree that doctors may feel differently now, but I had 2 c-sections for my babies. All went great! My colo-rectal surgeon didn't even want me to go into labor so I had scheduled c-sections in week 38. I never went into labor and all went according the plan. My babies were healthy and strong then, and likewise now!

I will note that my colo-rectal surgeon said he sees women ("normal" women without pouches) who have incontinence issues post delivery. He is only able to help 1 in 3. That made my mind up for the c-section. I had r/v fistulas and many issues that meant there was nothing left to sew back together if I had any issues from delivery.

Yes, c-sections come with their own risks- it is surgery!- but I have no regrets.

Best wishes!!
