Hello Ant & Holly;
Congratulations on your new (soon to be) arrival!
Let me start by stating that I have been in somewhat your
situation, without the nightmare that Holly went through
with the infection that she had from the first c-section.
By all means however, if she has any chance of having
natural childbirth, she should definitely do it!!!!
I had my first child via c-section. I had unknown
troubles getting pregnant with my second, but after
4.5 years of trying finally did. What they found on
my second c-section was the start of my nightmare.
Although I was pregnant with a 9 1/2 pound baby, when
they cut me open, they could not find my uterus! I
was so full of adhesions that the uterus was buried
beneath them all. They literally pushed on my son's
butt several times hard to have the uterus pop through
the adhesions. Needless to say, I lost a lot of blood
during the surgery, and have had major adhesion problems
ever since.
Everytime you have a surgery, your chances of having
more adhesions grow. Living with adhesion problems
is a nightmare, as most on this board can attest.
And since we really don't have many options, we are
having to try to live with what little life we can
learn to enjoy.
Since your wife had such a miserable time with the
first c-section, I am surprised that you would
consider a second, unless there is a specific reason
that she had to have her first c-section. I tried
for natural childbirth the second time around as well,
but my hips are too small to deliver a baby, and my
doctor informed me after my c-section that had we
proceeded in trying to push him out, I would have
broken my hip and his shoulder.
PLEASE think this over and over. Talk to the doctor
that delivered your first child. If he/she states
a problem that could have been a one time thing,
I would opt to try naturally. My sister had a
c-section on the first child and delivered 2
naturally afterwards.
Whatever happens, I wish you the best of luck
in the delivery, and I wish your wife and new
child only the best of health...

Hello,
If anyone could lend some assistance or experience in a similar
circumstance we would really appreciate it as we have a very small
amount of time until our second child is born and our doctors and
consultants can not help us reach a decision, or even offer any
worthwhile advice other than, "hmmmm lets wait and see what happens"
"it's your decision" and the classic "that's a difficult problem I don't
know what to say."
