@Bubba1028 posted:I actually had OB who wanted to do a vagina delivery and my pouch surgeon was like NO! You don’t want to take a risk of messing up the one shot you’ve got at the pouch. She recommended another OB who was really knowledgeable about pouches and the OB office had a weekly meeting to hover a plan of action as I got closer to delivery.
The plan was to do a c section and have a colorectal surgeon on call in case they ran into scar tissue or a problem. they said the likelihood of that was low since the uterus was in front of the colon, so most of the scar tissue, if any, would be BEHIND the uterus or above where they would be cutting. The cut was very low- right above where my hairline is, so it didn’t even come close to my ostomy scar or my belly scars.
I actually had my annual GYN appt today and she was just saying how good it was that I delivered via c section!
Anyway, I know some people do still deliver vagi ally but I personally didn’t want to risk having an ostomy the rest of my life, if I could prevent it. Not for all the pain and stuff I went through to ge the pouch! I hope this helps!
Everything you said was awesome!!! If I ever have kids biologically, I am so doing a C-section too lol.
