Re: Natural or C-Section?
My daughter was delivered naturally (vaginally), though they did give me a shot of Demerol (I think because I was having labor pains mainly in my back and I have a lot of back problems normally). It took 9 hours with the majority of really intense pains not hitting me until the last hour.
My son was delivered via emergency c-section. I had made an appt. and had gone to have labor induced when I went a week overdue (again, consideration was given to my back, the doc wanting to induce because I was having so much pain with the extra weight). So I checked in, was given the stuff to induce labor and nothing happened. Got up, walked around. Still nothing. They gave me another dose. Nothing.
I started getting really sleepy and wanting to take a nap and our heart rates started to drop. I started to go into shock on them so they rushed me in and performed an emergency c-section. My son had the cord wrapped twice around his neck.
The doc said it was a miracle I was in the hospital when it happened; that they wouldn't have gotten us to the hospital in time and we would have lost my son, if not me too.
For the record... hated the c-section. I experienced more trouble after having it than I did with my vaginal birth (even though I experienced some tearing when I had my daughter). Furthermore, I had a problem and have found similiarities with other women who have had c-sections, in having troubles with our gall bladders afterwards.
Any c-section moms experience trouble with that?
