Thinking a head. C section.

I have heard that recovery is usually much better after a planned section than an emergency one. I am not sure why exactly but most people do say that x

I think that makes sense. Emcs often follow hours of labour & intervention. Your body is stressed before they even started the section & then there is the mental anxiety as well during the section to hope all is OK. It's like running a marathon & then doing a 50km cycle ride on top.

I didn't have a section with my first but a gruelling preterm delivery on 100% pitocin with epidural & forceps delivery. It took a long time to recover as I suffered from complete adrenal depletion & could not recover timely. This time around, I feel pretty strongly on refusing Pitocin by all means. I'll go fr natural delivery but will refuse all induction. If baby doesn't cooperate, I'll request section before it becomes emergency.

Good luck to us all!!
