I am definitely going for a cesarean after my disaster of a natural childbirth. My not so little baby was 11lb 4 / 5.1kg and she tore me from cervix all the way around to my bum. Yeouch. Her head circumference was 38cm / 15" which is apparently the average size of a 1 month old. She also didn't even have that squooshed head look. She came out with a giant forehead lol.. didn't feel good! I also lost 3.2 litres of blood (almost a gallon) and was rushed to surgery for 2 hours and blood transfusions.
It took a very, very long time to recover. Not sure emotionally I ever did. I also did not try for a baby again for 15 years. I am lucky I did not have any physical problems like incontinence afterwards, although to this day after a bowel movement, I can still bleed as the tear really did a number on me.
I was seeing a doctor who just about made me burst into tears in her office. I showed her the 15 year old letter from the hospital stating the trauma I went through, and I told her doctors recommended I have a cesarean next time as I would be risking my life and my baby's life if I did that again. She didn't care and informed me I would be assessed at 34 weeks to see if I need cesarean, otherwise it will be natural. I could barely breathe... I started shaking. Needless to say I never went back to her! I already waited 15 years to do this again due to the fear..
I have my hospital appointment in a couple of weeks and it is the same maternity hospital I had my daughter in, so they will have all of my records and I am crossing my fingers and toes and also my baby's fingers and toes that I get to have cesarean!
it's probably a good thing because I think if I had already had the corrective surgery I would've made sure I never got pregnant again! This little one was obv meant to be
