C-section mom, anyone else a c-section mom? It's been almost three months since mine(: how long has it been since yours?

5 months ❤️

@reneeredemption @isaiahjamesmommy thank you both :) I'm glad that you ladies & babies are doing well also! He is my only for now, although I do have 5 step children ranging from 17 yrs old - 3 yrs old. I'm currently ttc again. I just want one more, and then I'm done! If it doesn't happen by the time I'm 30 (5 years) then I'm also done with just one lol.

Thank you! It was very stressful @isaiahjamesmommy the doctor was a dumbass though! She started before my husband was in the room and it ended up getting infected about a week after. She had to widen it because he was in my ribs and that area was what got infected. It reopened

Adele was also playing in the OR and when they finally got my baby out, my doctor was excitedly saying, "weigh him before he pees! Weigh him before he pees!" He peed 3x on the way to the scale lol

Wow!! @lovemyson_610 I'm glad you and your baby are okay! That sounds so stressful! Is he your only? Mine is and we decided to be one and done.

@reneeredemption your baby was so tiny! Mine was 2 days before his due date. I see babies and think, 'wow, my baby was NEVER that small!' lol I'm glad your baby is okay as well! A girl I went to school with lost her baby the day before her due date due to the cord being wrapped around his neck. It's truly heartbreaking to hear those kinds of stories.

Isaiah was headed towards the birth canal, slowly but surely. He came out looking like a conehead for being in position for so long and they still had to press on my stomach just below my breast plate to push him out of the incision. It was kind of funny when they cut me open at first, the doctor made the initial incision, felt for the baby and said, "He isn't going to make it out of there, it needs to be bigger." so he widened the cut and surprisingly, my c-section scar looks 100x better than my appendectomy scar!

Wow you both have such amazing stories. I'm glad your sons are okay! Mine was born three days after his due date and he was 5lbs 6oz @lovemyson_610 @isaiahjamesmommy

@reneeredemption I planned on vaginal delivery, with epidural. I had a perfect pregnancy. I went to my 38 week check up & my bp was high & my doc sent me straight to the hospital for a 24 hour stay to monitor me thinking it was preeclampsia. I ended up being diagnosed with HELLP Syndrome, which is wayyy worse than preeclampsia. My 24 hour stay ended up being almost a week long stay. My platelets dropped, so I couldn't get an epidural or spinal. I was going to have to do a vaginal birth naturally. The put me on Pitocin to induce me, and I was already on Magnesium to keep me from having a stroke. The Magnesium works against the Pitocin, so I didn't dilate anymore than what I already was to begin with (4cm). I still tried it for 10 hours though. My bp spiked at 200/100 & I had to have an emergency c section. I had to be put to sleep for it, on top of everything else! I finally got to see my son about 2 hours after he was born. And all the worries I had just totally went away 😊😊

8 months. I was induced at 630 p.m. the night before, only made it to 5 cm... with assistance. The doctor estimated my baby was going to be 8.5-9lbs, but he was 10 lbs 11 oz. Had we waited for his head to eventually make it out, he'd have gotten stuck at the shoulders and they would have had to pull him back through. Oh, it would have been so bad! I gave birth to a linebacker. He's been in the 90-97th percentile for everything his entire life.

oh wow I got induced too she was full term she was one week late and thanks!

@lyn, I saw your pictures, she's beautiful!

@lovemyson_610, @lyn my doctor requested one last ultrasound so I went and had it that day (October 22) and they said the placenta was dying and I needed to be induced, so we went home got a bag together and went to the hospital. They put some medicine in me over night and we're going to induce the next day. I ended up going into labor on my own but the contractions were very bad and with every one, his heart beat was weakening. When they were doing the csection they saw that he was stuck in my ribs and his cord was rapped around his throat two times

yup this is my first baby

@lyn, oh wow!

had to have a csecttion she wasn't budging she was big almost 9inahalf pounds

6mnths

@lovemyson_610, what's your story? You don't have to share if you don't want too.
