Ah the scar isn't that bad... and recovering from a c-section will make you feel strong too. You're still delivering your baby and you don't even know that it will happen. You have every right to be scared. I'm sure everything will turn out fine though:)
You're not being selfish at all. I can't imagine what kind of mood I would be in after a day (or an entire pregnancy) with this kind of worry and wonder.
And on the contrary, just from reading this community and seeing you throughout my own journal (sorry I forget to say hi...), you are certainly a presence of support.
I hope the next few days go well for you and baby. I'll be praying for you!
I'm only 9w4d with #1, and so I don't have any real help to offer, but I empathize with your situation and hope for the best for you and your little one. I'm thinking of the best case scenario -- baby is perfectly healthy, the birth goes exactly how you want, and today's amnio issues were really just due to a strange position that baby didn't like, as the doctors predicted. Hold onto that until you have evidence otherwise. (And heed your intuition.) *hugs*
My first kept deceling during contractions, but only false labor contractions and BH. Once real labor started, his heartbeat was fine. Now maybe it was positioning, who knows. But he did fine.
And ive seen a c section scar. it was quite small and right across the pubic bone. About 6 inches long and you could bearly tell. In fact she later mentioned that if she had any pubic hair, you really couldent see it. I had no idea it was so low.
thank you so much for this.. especially the first part.. i would have thought if he decelled for a bx he would definatelly get worse with real contractions.. that is so encouraging to me :)
I had tons of NST, and god they scared me, his HB would hit the 80s and i would start calling the nurse, and they would watch. Then tell me it was ok. But once i really went into labor, it didnt happen. So i really hope that happens for you too.
so do i, my god so do i.... and i told my husband what you said, he said " so you mean there is a use for that crap you do on the internet all day??" LOL im smiling for the first time all day, thank you.
i am somehow less scared of a c section than i am of an induced vaginal birth. i have no idea why even when i know that a c section is way worse int he long run.
i have had one induction and two augmented vaginal births, so my fear of the unknown is focused on c-section i guess... plus im a bigger girl and it always seems like surgeries especially abdominal surgeries that arent a real big deal for a normal person are worse for a big person... the place where they usually cut is in a spot that already gets irritated for me... infection seems almost a given... bleh.
