Reply to "What did labor feel like with J Pouch!!"

I have been thinking of you and your big decision, and was curious if they are doing regular growth scans for you? While I know growth scans aren't 100% accurate, my last scan was only off by a few ounces compared to his birth weight. Maybe knowing how big baby is projected to be will help you make a decision?

We have been home for a few days now and I am happy to report that my J-pouch hiccup didn't ruin breastfeeding. While he had to have formula during my NPO/NG ordeal, he has taken to breastfeeding and is thriving and gaining weight well. No nipple confusion or any issues! I am also feeling pretty great, not much pain compared to the big GI surgeries and my gut seems to be on track and digesting everything well. The issues seem to have resolved fairly quickly. I can't say that I regret the c-section, though a part of me does wonder if I could have done it vaginally or whether it would have made a difference given I was already experiencing GI symptoms from labor. At the end of the day, a healthy baby is all I was hoping for and we definitely have been blessed with that. Hoping the same for you!!
