i had a csection in 2000 with my daughter. I weighed over 300 pds and it was

HORRIBLE. They took the staples out too early and my incision split open.

and with the extra weight laying on the incision i was in PURE pain....

HOWEVER,

I am having a csection again with the twins. My dr said I could try VBAC but

opted for the csection since it has been less than a year since my RNY and

since i had a csection already. I didnt like the risks involved in a vbac and

heard too many horror stories..Hopefully being 100 pds lighter will be a BIG

help!!

Good Luck,

Crystal

I have had 2 c-sections. First one in 1997 at 318 lbs and the second in 2000

at 350. The first one was the most unbelievable pain ever! The second one

was much better. They put a drain on my incision the first 3 days after and it

really helped with healing, infection, etc... Being 150 lbs lighter this time,

hopefully will make things even better. I don't have an option of VBAC b/c

my kids are usually over 10 lbs, but I would have liked to experience normal

labor just once. Its not really the c-section that I get nervous about, its

the spinal. Last time they " accidentally " used the wrong size needle, that with

really having a hard time finding my backbone, made it awful.

I recently wrote a response (Re: Lord of the Dance) with reason why I

had and will have another csection. That's just my personal

experience.

I was roughly 240# with my son, and 150# with this one. I didn't have

ANY problems with my csection, was up and HAPPY to walk the halls two

hours after delivery....

With son: gained 22# and lost 26# when leaving the hospital.

This son: in 35th wk and have gained 19#.

My scarline is pencil thin, no problems with healing, and aside from

being numb for several months - can't even tell I was ever cut open.

(I was on Petocin for three 12-hr days and had incredibly painful

back-labor the entire time so I was dying to get on my feet and go

home.)
