I had my Jpouch surgeries in 2013 and then csections 2014 and 2016. I remember my GI surgeon warning of incontinence should my sphincter tear during a vaginal delivery so he strongly advised csections. I figured after all that work to finally have control over my bowels I wouldn’t risk it.
My csections went very well but I was relatively young (27-29) and healthy and my doctors also noted I don’t seem to scar badly which can cause a lot of issues (internally specifically).
That being said, I had little babies and I always kind of wondered if I had been able to do vaginal birth... I really appreciate your doctor’s attitude and confidence. In your case it could be less risky to do a vaginal birth since csections certainly have risks as well.
Congratulations and keep us updated!
