I'm really scared. I'm 32 weeks & I'm having a 2nd c-section because no doctors in my area will do VBAC :( my 1st c-section was horrible. Is the second time any easier? My veins are awful so for an IV they stuck me 17 times before finally getting it, they had me on cervidil because I wasn't dilating so every 2 hours they were replacing it hurting me bad where it has to go behind your cervix, after 2 days of labor they had me do c section, they had trouble getting my catheter in, then when they did my spinal they hit a nerve & it's been messed up since, then after all of that I had to heal which was excruciating.
@kiilaa, I really hope it's easier :( I really dread the whole wobbling around and bathroom trips again
my second one was way much easier that my first, you know all the precautions & you know what the pain will be like but it was easier for me . & i had the same thing happend to me cause i have rolling veins so it took them felt like forever just to get an iv in me.
Damm hun. well I do hope it helps and drink tons of water before you go in it will help veins too
@mommabear112, I'll sure try it. Mine are tiny and blow so easily. My arms were black and blue from my shoulders to the tips of my fingers literally by the time they got done. They even started having to prick my fingers for blood because they couldn't draw from my arms were everything was blown.
one thing that help your veins in have them apply heat for afew mins before poking you. also you can have you arm hang downwards to pool your blood some as you pump your hand this way your view become larger. Lol I got tricks for blood draws because mine love love love to roll ack.
@momma312 it totally creeped me out to think about them cutting me open while I was wide awake lol
I was awake with my first but going through it a second time kind of scares me :/ @lovemyson_610
I'd opt to be put to sleep if you can.. I was put to sleep for mine & after hearing all the things about how it messes people's backs & spines up, I'm soooo glad I got put to sleep!
i know i did too with my first i rmcried eveumytime i went to pee , it was horrible. but with my second i didn't feel like that & i didn't need help to go to the bath room.
