I really believe that natural childbirth is the best option. And I've really struggled with my feelings about "having" to have c-sections - it's really just during this last pregnancy that I've come to terms with it. <BR/>Levi's birth was an emergency section, which I was totally unprepared for, and afterwards I had a uterine infection. It was quickly cleared up, but it raises my risk for future uterine rupture. The risk is still pretty small and I probably would've chosen to try for a vbac the next time anyway, but my hospital was no longer allowing vbacs. Faced with the additional risk of rupture and with switching to a new hospital/doctor (two hours away!), Casey asked me to reconsider. I spent a lot of time talking with my doctor about in light of the fact that we outsource our family planning :) and it still was a tough decision. But I did finally kind of accept it and see what an idol I was making out natural childbirth - what an eye-opener for me! <BR/>Now I'm running over to your place to see if there's a baby update:)Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142994274994642731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9244309.post-24625074095121510162007-09-13T08:03:00.000-07:002007-09-13T08:03:00.000-07:00Holly- I'm so glad to be on this side, too!

Why do you have to have C-sections if you are contracting? (Not being critical AT ALL !!!! just curious.) My sis in law had four C sections, but she just NEVER would go into labor nor would her body ever open up. They tried and tried everything they could think of to induce her and zip, zero, nada. I felt so bad for her...as you said, you go thru not just a C-section, but other cruddy stuff, too.<BR/><BR/>Anyway - enjoy. Take care of you!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9244309.post-25775408870780799052007-09-12T15:22:00.000-07:002007-09-12T15:22:00.000-07:00Maggie - Thanks!
