Everything turned out fine though - they believe that we just didn't wait long enough for the spinal to kick in.OMIDuckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03235501829959152219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5707803433045251633.post-85072613544508308642010-07-27T15:35:03.714-07:002010-07-27T15:35:03.714-07:00I didn't know you weren't awake for your 2...I didn't know you weren't awake for your 2nd c-section!

But Jill has a point... everything looks the same down there, but I can't help but wonder (always) what it would have been like.OMIDuckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03235501829959152219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5707803433045251633.post-6653665885252647282010-07-23T12:02:57.194-07:002010-07-23T12:02:57.194-07:00Hmmmm, I have thought about this post A LOT since ...Hmmmm, I have thought about this post A LOT since I first read it. I would love to say that you didn't miss out on anything, BUT I probably would have been disappointed if I didn't have the birthing experience I had! So, I completely understand how you would feel the way you do. BUT, I also went in saying I would do whatever I needed to keep my baby safe. There would be no tears if I had a c-section, and I would just do what the doctor said because what the hell do I know! I swear in my next life I am either GOING to med school or marrying a doctor :-)!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700755146199141614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5707803433045251633.post-22448441456659482192010-07-23T01:20:08.200-07:002010-07-23T01:20:08.200-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5707803433045251633.post-14212187301897032882010-07-22T08:35:23.550-07:002010-07-22T08:35:23.550-07:00I have given birth both ways. Let me just give you...I have given birth both ways. Let me just give you the upside of the c-section, it leaves your womanly "business" alone and you don't end up looking all funky down there. After 3 vaginal births, I look like like my vagina is sticking it's tongue out! Sorry to be so graphic. Also, with the vaginal birth, I shit all over the table as I was pushing- not something your hubby wants to see. I personally appreciated the pain only being in my abdominal region with the c-section. No sitz baths or stitches in the nether regions. Why do we feel the need to go through all pain and agony of pushing them out to feel like a real mom. Birthing has got to be traumatic for the babies, all the pressure squeezing them. At least yours were just pulled out and they were done! You got the joy and miracle of conceiving and carrying children. Some never do. Feel blessed!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11692092404883788866noreply@blogger.com
