 we had to go for a c-section when our baby was born. i wouldn't know what labour pains are, but i'm sure they're stronger than any pain any male can feel and stay conscious. our baby is healthy, and none the worse for the mode of delivery, and that's what counts.

 i don't think alot of people understand cesareans.i didn't until i had one almost eight months ago.i've just learned to accept the fact that sometimes that's just how things work.at least i got a gorgeous,perfectly healthy 9lb baby boy out of it.

 i had a c-section about a year ago when my daughter was born. i was a very healthy person all along my pregnancy. my labor was progressing normally until i took the epidural. i felt very chilly and developed very high temperature and as a result the baby in my womb got into distress. as a result, the doctors did a c-section to save the baby. only when i spoke to the doctors later did i find out that epidural is not suitable for everybody. but i am very happy to have a very healthy baby who is real smart for her age. she was 8 lbs 1 ounce at birth.

 a very informative article. more should be discussed on uterine rupture as a risk of vbac. i had low transverse incision and with my next baby my uterus ruptured during labour. was extremely painful and almost life threatening for me and baby. the possibility of uterine rupture should not be downplayed, as it often is. it is a very real possibility!

 i was in india with my mother at the time of my delivery. everything was going on smoothly till the 8th month when the doctors told me to get a scan every week to check the liquer(amniotic fluid) which they suspected was quite less.strange things started coming to my mind about the type of delivery i would have. i wanted a normal one like any other woman.my water bag burst one day i.e on the exact day of the end of my 9 months. the doctors carried on a c-section on me.tough i was not mentally prepared for it, my husband made me understand that we did'nt have a choice, as i was losing out on the little fluid i had with each contraction. i must say that i underwent lot of pain and suffering for those 7 days in hospital.i could not even lift my baby, and as they(the doctors) had given me epidural injection there was lot of pain and soreness in my spine and i had developed severe headache, and not to mention the excruciating pain in the stitches. but as they say all is well that ends well, when i look at my daughter now who is 1 year old i think that that's the best thing that has happened to me besides a loving and wonderful husband without whose support i would not have been able to take the pain. thank you god for my perfect family.

 a very interesting article on c-section. reading it, it would be clearer to mothers to be the procedure of c-section and the situtions in which it is required. i also had our daughter delivered after a c-section apparently because the fetus went into distress. though for 4 days i was in pain, but today happy to have a complete family. what i suggest you could also add to this section is some general information about post c-section operative care, which would be useful to the readers.

 informative site, but what about post natal care, after a c-section?
Name: namita
Country: india
 the site is one of the best on subject. i had a c-section after being in labour for 36 hours as the baby was in occipito posterior position and baby's head was also big. i was just not mentally prepared for a caesarian and i was told just 1/2 hr. before the operation. i spent painful 5-6 days after the operation. anyways what really matters is a healthy baby and a good recovery for the mother. rest is upto god.

 it is a fine article. aaaaaaaaai've undergone a c-section delivery 1 month back. it was really tough to cope with the distress of having undergone throug it. it would be better if you could include post operative care, precautions to be followed, exercises that can be done and some more technical information etc. as well.
Name: meenakshi
Country: india
 the info on the cc-section was very good but it was incomplete in the sense that post operative care should have been included. i myself delivered through c-section 5 months ago because the baby got distressed. everything was fine till yhe delivery gynae was very nice but she did not give much info on after the delivery problems. the c-section delivery comes with lot of pain, anxiety and depression especially when its your first born. the site should carry more info on post operative care.
Name: Mahesh

 the article is excellent. maybe information on how a c-section can be prevented could be included.
Name: asmallya
Country: india
 first let me say that this site is excellent! however, the article i think should be more detailed. i myself had a c-section since my baby's head never fixed till the last day and labour pains started. the doctor tried pitocin for 4 hours. even then the head did not come down. the baby was in a slanted position (floating). that is why i had a c-section finally. i was given local spinal injections and the operation was painless. i also did not have any problems and started walking in 2 days. went home on 4 th day. however, i wonder if a c-section has any effect on mother-child relationships or affects the child in any way. any views on this?

 well i had a c-section also with both my children. my first experience with it was a nightmare. i believed i could feel what the doctors were doing to me even when i had an epidural. with my second i was put under anasthetic and it went fine but in my post partum i had developed an infection in my operation making it very painful again.. now i am pregnant with my third and final and was informed that i had to have a c-section regardless. i really wanted to try natural labour but i couldn't. i would like to hear other stories of people who went through epidurals and had any problems. this time i am having a spinal and i am worried that it won't work and the pain i will feel. but just as long as the baby is healthy i really will get over it.

 i had a c-section done in july of last year because i was in labour for 13 hours and my cervix was not dilating. i was given an epidural in the spine which resulted in me having a spinal headache, twitching of the eyes, profuse sweating and alot more things. however i was happy that my doctor did it because i wouldn't hava had enough energy to push if i could have a normal delivery. i was however disappointed with the fact that no information about post c-section delivery. i must say thank god however for a safe delivery and a healthy, beautiful baby boy.

 i had my daughter by c section last september and have found it a major struggle coming to terms with what happened,the aftercare in my particular hospital was pathetic to say the least and has left me with a lot of unanswered questions that i hope sites like this may answer!

 good article. i feel sorry for all the women who have written saying they have problems either during or after a c-section. childbirth is such a joyous time and not a time you should have added worries about spinal headaches or not being able to walk for a few days after. i have had two c-sections and will have my 3rd in march. i wouldn't have childbirth any other way!

 great site,most c-sections in usa not done under general,but epidural or spinal as well as lori from the usa indicated. i had a c-section, done on a tuesday was up and walking wednesday morning, took a shower on my own and was released on the friday morning. so recvoer and hospital stays vary. plus, i was off pain killers by 10am on the wednesday which was exactly 24 hours after the c section!

 my first child was delivered by c-section 6 years ago due to foetal distress and i found the experience wonderful - i am now 7 months pregnant with my second child and have been refused a c-section this time as there was no medical reason why i cannot give birth naturallyn - i am absolutely terrified at the thought of a vaginal birth - has anyone else been refused in this way and can i insist on having one?

 hi i have had both natural with my first son then c-section with my second son and even though the c-section was alright i would go for natural any day and i was in labour for 3 days with my first but with the c-section i was up and walking around at 6.30 the next day and my scar isnt that bad you can hardly see it i had to have a c-section because he was breech which i was a bit upset about but it wasnt that bad. and i would like to say that the public system brought both my two beautiful boys into the world and i couldnt have faulted them. so if you are having to have a cesarean then dont worry it is very safe and all that matters is that your little bundle of joy comes out safe.

 after having delivered my gorgoeus son by c-section method, i was just so delighted that i had a healthy child. i'm aware that not all deliveries go without problems however after being present at the birth of my two nephews, for which my sister delivered totally "naturally" both times (vaginally), i.e. no pain meds, certainly no epidural, i would definitely advise not having an epidural. i had one without any doubt, but regret it so much as i really feel that it slowed down the whole process leading to a 3 hour period of actually trying to push the baby into the world, but to no avail. this lead to muscle spasms after which the c-section had to be performed. i blame the whole misfortune on the epidural. my point is that in a lot of the articles i have read, women seem to convey their fear of whether to try for "normal" delivery or c-section. do yourself a favour and think seriously about not having an epidural. i know you're probably going to be in a lot more pain initially, however i certainly don't feel that medical persons warn pregnant women enough about the side effects and inconsistencies with the epidural. keep in mind that when your labour starts a beautiful little baby (or babies!) is coming at the end of this pain. it's the only pain endured by women that brings with it the most wonderful feeling in the whole world!!!

 hi , during my first time,i was overdue for 12 days and was induced with pessaries leading to excruciating ,false pains for 36 hrs.my baby's head was tilted backwards,his back towards my back and i wouldn't dilate more than 6cms(reqd 10).ultimately,emergency caesarian section was done ,which seemed like a miracle and quick procedure after those long painful hrs .i was walking next morning,changing my baby,carrying him ,and in two days,was back home,up the stairs.i was careful with stitches for 2-3 wks and didn't carry any wt except for the baby but developed some infection for which antibiotics were given to cure me within a week.now i am 4 mths pregnant and without doubt,am opting for caesarian on request finding it much more easy to handle.some post operative exercises were suggested which i did ,but unfortunately,i did not lose wt-that could be partially genetic too.i would suggest all the girls going for c-section not to be scared at all.if u hv normal natural birth,u r lucky,but if not,u still r lucky. best wishes.

 first of all i would like to compliment u on such a good article.i had to undergo a c-section2 yrs ago when i had my son due to non progression of labor despite being in pain for about 8 hrs .i had a spinal epidural injected and my surgery went absolutely painless and so was the recovery ,i was able to carry my baby and walk to my car one floor down on the third day .i have had no problems whatsoever with either the stitches or anything. my baby is healthy to date.thanx to my doc.mrs renu makker in lucknow.but i would really like to know whether the trouble that my baby underwent those 8 hrs with continuous decrease of amniotic fluid could in anyway affect his development.well he is normal but is really hyperactive and has a delayed language development. kindly see if u could get some related articles.

 i elected to have a c section as i was frightenend of natural birth. i was also informed by my dr that a c section is a relatively low risk to the baby compared to natural. i had a spinal injection which to my surprise was totally painless. the whole operation was quick, painless and proffessionally done. i would not hesitate to do it again. c section gives you some degree of control. it also ensures that your baby will not suffer due to a complicated birth after you have anxiously awaited his/her arrival for so long. recovery was also short and not too painful. i think c sections are a good option. i think it is very important, if you can at all possibly afford it, to obtain the services of a good private, female ob at a well respected and well staffed private hospital. i think this makes all the difference. having a baby in the public system can be dangerous due to staffing levels.

 i have had to have two c-sections because my pelvis is to small to deliver normally. i am now pregnant with my third baby and will have to have a c-section this time too. the only problem i really had was an infection after my 2nd c-section but was treated with anti-biotics and i healed quickly. i do get scared at times thinking that i will have to have yet another c-section. i want to assure all the moms out there that having a c-section does not affect the bonding with your baby. i am suffering from alot of pressure on my scar during this pregnancy and at times it can be quite painful. there are also times that i feel like i have missed out because i have not been able to deliver vaginally, however, i am just grateful that i have been able to have children at all. have really enjoyed this site and particularly reading all the other ladies comments.
