Hi,
I had my first baby in Nov 2004 in India. It was a c-section. I could walk the next day after delivery and breastfeeding was also not a problem. The stiches were not to be removed as they got absorbed... No major problems except backpain. That also is not regular now...
Now I am currently in US and planning for second baby. I think this time also mostly it will be c-section. I want to know how it is in US. The c-section process, stiches, breastfeeding, etc...
Experienced moms, pls share your thoughts.

Thanks in advance...
A replied. Hi ,
I to had Csection for my first baby in India. I also had C-section for my second child in US. It was a very good birthing experience here. The doctors did give me the option of VBAC(vaginal birth after C-section)but there is no guarantee u will hae normal delivery. Plus there is 1% chance of uterus rupture after a Csection when u try to push during ur labour.
We did not have any help durig my second delivery so I wanted to have a planned C-section. So that way i dont have to go in labour and run for hospital at an unexpected time especially when my first child was only 4 yrs.
They give u the best treatment and service in the hospitals after delivery like helping with every feed of the baby, changing ur pads after ur csection, administering medicines timely so u dont feel the pain etc.. There is a whole menu of bland and healthy food for u, so u dont have to bother cooking for the first 3 days etc...
Do get ur parents/in laws for help during this time so your older child is not neglected much.
Both my kids were ery co-operative and my husband tood 3 weeks off from his work and we all were able to welcome te new baby very well and we had a wonderful time even though we did not have much help.
With timely medicines and good food in the hospital soon after delivery I was strong enough to come home and do many things myself by 4th day. Please do not be a supermom and abuse ur health, do ur work slowly with enough breaks and have a wonderful second motherhood.
bye
A
