Hi ladies just wanted to let you know I had my little ones via c section last Friday I was 36 weeks exactly. I had to have a scheduled c section due to Baby A being too small and me developing pre-eclampsia. It was a mostly horrible experience but mostly because of where I was giving birth as a western woman giving birth in Korea was a horrible experience. The night before the operation I had to be monitored and my husband was not allowed to stay with me. I started having contractions on my own and it seemed one of the babies was under a bit of distress for this they then confined me to the most uncomfortable bed that I could not recline or move up or anything I had to pee in a bed pan and no one would help me. The surgery went fine although I was terrified because they only do general anesthesia. The pain started afterwards and was awful. The nurses were so unhelpful they expected me to change beds on my own 20 minutes after the procedure and they would not help me get up or anything DH had to help me with everything. They didn't want to let me see the babies at all because they were twins that was their reason I was so mad that they eventually had to see it my way. My daughter Vivienne had to go to the NICU for observation because she was weighing 4 pounds 7 ounces luckily she was super healthy and doing everything as she should so she got released with me. My son Alonso was born weighing 5 pounds 14 ounces and also super healthy thank god he also got to come home with me on day 4. I unfortunately have not been able to get rid of the pre-eclampsia and have been either in horrible pain from the c section or this horrible neck pain that seems to spike up with my blood pressure. Even though the whole experience has been a sort of nightmare I am so happy I have my little ones at home with me. For all you expecting still I do tell you sleep as much as you can while you can. My little ones aren't the greatest eaters and one bottle seems to drag to the next and I can't feed them both at the same time yet as they seem to choke quite a bit so night time wakings take forever. I will add a picture in a bit. Good luck to everyone on here even if your birth experience isn't so great like mine the ultimate reward is awesome so just focus on that.
