Hi, I am 15 wks pregnant and this is my husbands and mines 1st baby. I had a c-section in 2002 pre j-pouch with j-pouch surgery in 2003 (long story-short, was married before didn't work out, no living children). I have been very lucky with my pouch, I've not had any real issues to speak of since surgery, even though I have managed on my own since 2004, seeing a GI doctor for 1st time in 10 years last year. I have been pretty set on having a c-section to avoid unnecessary strain on my j-pouch, but after reading some of the recoveries some people have had I'm becoming a little nervous. Has anyone had a c-section and recovery wasn't so bad? Please share any and all birthing stories they will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
