Hi does anyone have any positive experiences of these? Ive just been told ill have one in 12 days, im a patient in hospital in bristol at the moment regarding the pregnancy and cardio docs made that plan as babies stuck in a rut of heart failure. He was more poorly with hydrops and a slightly leaky valve but thankfully these have fixed. So yes just wondered how its gone for anyone else? Please no horror stories :flower:
 
Both my boys were born by csection, first was an emergency sonthe actual situation was terrifying but the surgery in itself was fab and was out shopping etc within a few days. The surgeon used staples to seal the wound and they were great. Second was an elective section as he was over 10lb and was a good experience, they surgery was relaxed and had delayed cord clamping and skin to skin etc as soon as he was out as he came out screaming. Recovery has been harder this time but was still able to at least walk around and potter about house with minimal pain within a week or so. Slight issue with wound not healing as well but mostly due to the dressingbthey put on it.

Overall both csections were a positive. Good luck for yours, I hope everything goes well.

Edited to say just noticed you are only 34 weeks so guessing you will have the steroid injections? If so don’t read any scare stories about them being painful, they stung but were more than manageable.
 
Thankyou for sharing your personal experiences thats really good on the whole then. Hoping for the delayed cord clamping as well so thats good to hear. Congratulations on your new arrival! Lovely healthy weight our third was a 9lb6er you said 'he' so i bet he's lovely. Had the steroids, so dont need to think about them now luckily x
 
Had emergency csecrion with my 2nd baby, it was actually quite calm for an emergency, I had been induced for 3 days and wasn't dilating even though my waters had gone 4 days before hand, it's was over and done with within 45 mins. Within 24 hours I was in the shower in the hospital and then home on day 3.

Have elected to have a c section this time too as getting sterilized too.
