Reply to "How long until you tried for a baby"

I delivered a vaginal breech 3 years ago. I really fought for it because i had had so much trouble with scar tissue. I had had my pouch for almost 20 years at that point and a doctor had told me scar tissue was some of the strongest tissue so not to worry about my j pouch. But since then (3 years) I have just had to have a jpouch resection (due to a stricture that I think has been there for many many years but took a LONG time to figure out the problem) , and this surgeon (Dr. Fleshner at Cedar Sinai in Los Angeles, supposedly one of the best for this specific stuff) said he highly recommends c-sections so as not to put pressure on jpouch etc... But he also recommends ALL women have c-sections. When challenged he he said it was because no one talks about how at 70 so many women lose continence because the muscles were "ruined in childbirth". Another OBGYN who specializes in Bowel patients said either was fine. I think there are a lot of different thoughts on all of this! It's hard to chose. If I had another I might do c-section, I just hate all the scar tissue!
