Reply to "C-Section and Fears"

I have one child.

My J pouch was constructed in 1991. Kiddo was born via C-section with my surgeon's approval in 2002.

All was well after. In fact, I do believe if you google Cleveland Clinic and vaginal vs C section after pouch creation, C section is preferred.

I'm not sure why they're scaring you with risk of an ostomy after C section? My gyne folks were not high risk or anything, though I think CRS was on call if needed. All was fine for me. Your uterus sort of is in front of everything, with your pouch behind it, so I'm not sure there's *too* much risk to the pouch during surgery, honestly, though of course all surgeries carry risks, AND our anatomies are different of course. Vaginal delivery was scarier with risk of sphincter tearing and issues. I don't know. Guess you gotta pick your poison.
