Reply to "Is it terrible to have had a vaginal delivery with pouch?"

Just to add my two cents...My high risk OB was fine with me trying for a vaginal delivery if my babies were under 8 lbs (more for my body type than GI issues). HOWEVER, he did tell me that if I tried for a vaginal delivery and needed an emergency c-section, his first priority would be getting the baby out safely and he would not be able to take extra care with the intestines (of course, he wasn't going to be reckless, but couldn't let that be the priority).

With a planned c-section, he felt he could be extra cautious and work around my intestines in a way that would be least likely to cause disruption.

Given that I chose to have c-sections. Since I have a perm ileo, the continence issue was irrelevant for me.
