Congratulations Mrs Raggle!!!!!!
Ladies, have any of you experienced a pull on your scar later on? Today i lifted lo onto a trolley in her car seat and for the first time felt it pull. Now i am feeling sore and am getting some abdominal pain - nothing excruciating, but not nice.

Congrats Mrsraggle- still trying to make that decision myself!

Congratulations Mrs Raggle!!!

It is definately a third section for me...also whereas my family GP had said no to sterilising me at the same time as the section, I asked my consultant; and if that is what I want she is happy to do it...so now I have to think hard and come to a decision as to whether I get done, or hubby gets done.

Hope everyone is okay?

Maybe you lifted the seat at a funny angle or some thing? I've not had any abdominal pain that far after my section but just did a quick google and seems like it can be quite common thing to happen.

Hi new mommies!

I found out yesterday that we're expecting #2 so will have to start thinking about VBAC/Elective Section at some point over the coming months :S

Yey Congratulations

Good luck with your decision making

I had mine done when they were born- it seriously takes and extra 15 minutes and no extra heal time

Hubby and I went out shopping yesterday- a full afternoon at the mall, then dinner out- it was our first big adventure out with the girls- but by the time we got home my abdomen was tired. I don't know how else to explain it. No pain, per say, just TIRED.

 

[mrsraggle]

Does anyone know if the hospital stay with an elective section is shorter? For a second baby? I don't really want to be in hospital for three nights - with Ellie I was more than ready to go home by the third - especially having Ellie at home and with it being such a vulnerable time for her.

 

[you&me]

It is generally a 48 hour stay over 2 night's with an elective section

Our hospital only does electives monday, tuesday and wednesday...3 each morning starting at 8.30am.

I know what you mean mine used to get like that when i went walking our out and about for to long.

I know mine wasn't an elective but I was only in two nights after i had Millie (had her late on the 1st night) but that was because i asked to go home, they said if everything is fine then they will let me go, i just had someone come to the house the next day to check up on me. I think it really depends on how you and baby are after the section i guess.

forgot to add my friend who recently had an elective was in for 3 nights.

 

[mrsraggle]

Hmm, thanks girls. I think I'll make it clear, so long as me and baby are OK, that I want to stay for as short a time as possible. With Eloise we both had infections and were almost in for a fourth night except for my desperation to leave.

Oh I'm glad I found this group! I'm going in for an elective c-section on 17th June. It's for medical reasons as my LO has a heart condition. I'd love to check in from time to time for advice as the time gets closer

Welcome Not long left for you now then!? hope it all goes well for you, feel free to ask away

when i had my elective section i was home after 2 nights,i think it all depends how u feel,and baby is fine but i doubt u could get out any sooner,as i had my drip in still for most of that time.
