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

Hi Somegingersomesnap,

I couldn't help but notice you had surgery for your jpouch in 2008, this was the same for me :-) I just recently delivered a healthy little girl 4 months ago. I too had the same discussion with my OB about C-Section or Vaginal delivery. I remember feeling so torn on one way or the other. I remember coming on to this site to see what women had experienced with vaginal vs. c-section. I thought I would share with you that I opted for a vaginal delivery and to my surprise everything went really well!  I was worried about what would happen to j-pouch, could things tear.. etc I was really surprised to find that the delivery created no additional problems for my pouch. And in some ways I felt that I had built up a mental tolerance for riding the waves of contractions/pushing because of my experience with Colitis pre surgery. Just wanted to give you a bit of encouragement as you make your decision! All this to say, whatever YOU choose will be the best decision for you and your little one.
