I have so much about vaginal birth on my channel, that I didn't want to leave the potential 1/3 of you mommas out! Yes, the c-section rate in the united states is about 32%! That means that it is likely that some of you will end up giving birth by cesarean... and that's OK! I want you to be prepared and confident for your cesarean, understand the process, what is more important to your chances of a c-section than the hospital c-section rate, the reasons why some women have them and tips about how to prepare for your birth!

@juliejones3260 5 жыл бұрын

I’m not scared of getting a C-section. I am, however, scared of laboring for hours on hours and even trying to push just to end up getting a c-section.

I had a cesarean this past weekend. During my pregnancy, I avoided thinking about and preparing myself for cesarean birth because I was adament I would have a vaginal. No complications through my pregnancy, baby was in great position, so I thought the birth would be as I expected! Went into the hospital to get checked because my water started leaking and I wasn’t feeling the baby move. They admitted me and said I would be having this baby asap! I was not progressing in labor and the baby was not coping well, heart rate kept dropping. Doctor gave her a few chances to relax and when she didn’t, said we should do a c section to be safe. I was extremely nervous and dreaded the recovery. The procedure was actually not bad. I didn’t even realize when they made the incision and before we knew it, little girl was born! My doctor was amazing and the incision site was already healing excellently when they removed the dressing after 24 hours. Recovery has not been fun so far and as disappointing as it was that I didn’t deliver vaginally, it was all worth it to have our perfect little daughter now!

Thanks for sharing your story! I'm 30 weeks and 3 days now. Before pregnancy and this whole time, I had been prepping and planning for a vaginal birth, but to be ready for the possibilities, I've been educating myself on c-sections. I REALLY don't want one, but your story gave me peace about it in case it does happen. My husband and I tried for almost 2 years to get here, so in the end, I really just want my perfect baby boy too. I still hope for vaginal delivert, but thanks for shifting my focus on what really matters 😊

Kah Pow how long after the baby was born did it take for them to wake you && then you be able to hold baby??? (I ask that bc I read they won’t let you hold the baby till you fully recovered) ....I have a spinal cord issue and if I have to have c section would have to be put fully under as epidural/spinals in any scenario is impossible and I’m nervous it would be forever till I got to see, hold and breastfeed my baby. Any info you feel comfortable sharing would be soooo very much appreciated!! Thank you

@@Alex-fw6ur aw I'm so sorry hun but don't worry. for you, as soon as you go to sleep you will be woken up. I was very confused and forgot I even had a baby for a minute but I also had both epidural and spinal done so I was drugged beyond belief! As soon as they rolled me back into the room I was able to hold my baby, now every hospital is different but that's what they did for me, I was awake enough to know what was going on by the time I got into my recovery room. For my boyfriend he said it took 45 minutes till they took me back in till he heard our baby girl cry but they attempted a spinal so It took longer for him. It will be longer for you but because your asleep but, it will be like no time has passed! Now for me the second day of recovery was worse so much worse than all the KZfaq family's show, I couldn't even lift my arms or legs even my fingers were stiff but I think it was due to the failed epidural and spinal they did, if this happens to you hun, ibuprofen helps alot! Just remember you will see and hold your angel baby in no time! I hope this helps hun.

I was terrified! After some complications they had to put me completely under. I was so scared and upset. My husband couldn't be in the room and I wouldn't hear my baby's first cry. I was a wreck, but I just wanted my daughter to come out healthy and same for myself. It then took about 4 hours after my little one was born to finally meet. It was horrible, but she's healthy, Happy and extremely loved ❤️❤️

I dont know how c section mamas do it. I've had smaller abdominal surgeries prior, and I cant imagine recovering from a c section while adjusting to parenthood. All the gold stars to you c section mamas out there. Hats off to you. You are superheros.

I just had my second baby 2 weeks ago and I was devastated to hear that I might need a c-section. He was still transverse at almost 39 weeks. My dr/hospital did not offer the ECV procedure so that wasn’t an option. After lots of prayer and some at home techniques or just the will of my body and baby. I went into labor a week later and had my beautiful son VAGINALLY in just 4 hours, one push and no epidural (labor happened reallllllly fast). It was incredible and I’d do it all again.

1st- Thank you so much for making this video series. I know it’s an oldie but it’s great. 2- I really wish I had watched something like this before my 1st because I was definitely in that “I will never have a C-Section” mentality. 3rd - Although my C-section literally saved my life and my baby’s life I still feel very, very guilty about it 6 years later. I feel like I was not a part of my son’s birth at all!!! Quick story: At 14 weeks my husband and I found our first had Gastroschisis (intestines developed outside the body) so although they said we will more than likely have a planned C section, I was in total denial and though I could somehow push the baby. Then at 29 week I lost my mucus plug and my water broke. I did not have any contractions, the baby was breached and I had lost most of my amniotic fluid...I was kept in bed and doctors were trying to keep me pregnant while also doing everything possible to prepare the baby for birth just in case. After day 3 I got a fever and the baby was tachycardic so they said I more than likely had an infection and that’s when they opted for an emergency C section. My baby was delivered successfully and he had surgery to repair his birth defect (Gastroschisis). I did not have any complications AFTER the C section. But for some damn reason I was still very disappointed and felt defeated. Soooooo, Thank Thank Thank you for making us C section mamas feel included. To all you mamas out there, please everyone watch C section videos and just tell yourself that no matter how your precious baby comes into this world you still did an amazing job and you should feel proud, and strong and beautiful AND included!!!! 💕💕💕💕

After a 36 hour induction and 3 hours of pushing, my ob said I could push for another hour (me and baby were in good condition) or do a c-section, as there wasn’t much progress in the 3 hours. I was exhausted, frustrated, and so, so disappointed. I chose to go right for the c-section, and I have no regrets. Neither me nor my baby were ever in distress and the choice was entirely mine. The procedure was jarring but thankfully not traumatic for me. Seeing my baby girl (through the plastic sheet) for the first time was still such a beautiful, special moment. I wish I had educated myself more on the c-section process and recovery process beforehand, but at least I know for next time. I would totally do another c-section. I’ll never do another induction, though.

I ended up needing a c section after laboring for 18 hours. My water broke on it’s own and everything. But I had a fantastic experience with c section. I didn’t get to touch my baby for an hour which upset me but the rest of the experience was great. I was so terrified and kept asking if I could have a second to process but I kept being told that there wasn’t time. That was probably best because if I had time to process what was going on, I would have been more terrified about it al. The anesthesiologist was a jerk and kept laughing at me for being scared and when I’d ask my nurse something he’d tell her just not to answer me. I really did not like him and his attitude. But the surgeon was great and my recovery was easy and I got to have my midwife there with me which calmed me and I had the nurses who labored with me, too.

Hormones after section are crazy too and i wasn't the only one in the room who was crying for hours because our babies weren't with us. These tears could not be stopped, it was weird. And then comes the lower back pain for weeks after the surgery.

I’m so afraid to have another c section, this will be my fourth. During the last birth i just remember I could hardly keep my eyes open. Is that normal? I didn’t experience that with my precious two c sections. Could they have given my versed or something?

How do you know when to go in if experiencing early labor? I’m 33 weeks. I keep being told to go in if having consistent contractions. Which happened twice already. They gave me two shots of terbutaline and two lung steroid shots. I’m fingertip dilated. I am a scheduled cesarean. Previous births were all 36 weeks. Non emergency except 1.

Ok I have a question. I’m currently pregnant and I have multiple fibroids and so I have to have a csection regardless because one of my fibroids is on my cervix and they worried baby wouldn’t even come down when it’s time. But I want to know if they could remove the fibroids during my csection?

Hello! I gave birth to my son due to severe preeclampsia at 30 weeks 5 days via emergency c-section. Could you possibly do a video on preterm birth/preeclampsia? Thank you. ❤️

I unfortunately labored and had to have a C-section. It was absolutely terrifying, only due to the fact that my spinal started to wear off when they were putting my uterus back where it needed to be and suturing me up. I got my amazing little boy out of the deal, and I would do it all over again to make sure he was safe, but it was absolutely terrifying. I'm honestly traumatized to have another baby

Aerica Beaver I totally understand. Had my son 2014 and my trauma and recovery made me scared to have more kids. My son was 4 and I felt guilty he was alone. So we planned my second child and my vbac failed. I'm thankful for my 2nd son. Thank God this recovery and experience was better. I would do it all over again. My son is now 5 and I have a 1 month old and couldn't be happier.

If you had to have a cesarian birth, could you choose general anesthetic? I feel like I would have a panic attack. Or ask for anti anxiety medication?

I am 32 weeks pregnant with my first and I am watching this to prepare myself mentally just in case I need to have a c-section if I can’t deliver my baby vaginally.

@stephaniearnett1727 3 жыл бұрын

Wish I had watched something like this before my son was born. Like you said I put all my preparation in vaginal birth, was convinced that was what was going to happen, and felt very helpless when C-section became mandated. After the spinal I felt like I was going under/about to pass out which was a little frightening but the anesthesiologist reassured me it was normal. I was really disturbed by hearing my son's heart rate go down so much before they ripped off the monitors to cut me open. I did have my arms strapped down which was very uncomfortable because the anesthesia gave me terrible shaking in my arms. It was still better than all the back labor pains and midwives trying to push my cervical lip out of the way during pushing, but still uncomfortable. Since it was a transfer from a birthing center there was no plan established with the care team. I have no idea if they delayed cord clamping or anything. I know I received more drugs in a one hour time frame than any other time in my life. I do not remember being offered any skin-to-skin time while they sewed me back up. My husband and child were taken out of the room to recovery while they finished with me. Fortunately my son was extremely healthy and nursed for over an hour once we were finally united about an hour after his birth. I had some postpartum hemorrhage so it took a little longer for them to finish with me than what I remember with my sister's C-section. It definitely was not an ideal experience, but I am grateful that we all came through okay. The anesthesiologist was amazing and I do not think I will ever forget his name or face. Now I am pregnant with number 2 and was hoping for VBAC but the baby is breech and I am 38 weeks tomorrow. She has about a week to turn or it is another C-section, but at least this time would be planned with a doctor I have established a relationship with and I would be better prepared for what to expect. Love your videos!

I just got C section 3 weeks ago. I wish I watch this before i gave birth. I didn’t know i was gonna get c section. They induced me at 38 weeks but it didn’t work so they had to do c section 😩. Now I’m thinking to try VBAC when I get pregnant again.

I was due two days ago. I'm worried about having to have a c-section. Is there any other moms out there that have a larger time spread between their first child and second? My first is 12 and she was born vaginal, induced. One of my doctor's said this is like a first born all over and another doctor said no it's not. Any others out there and their thoughts?

I'm currently 35 weeks today and baby's breech. I had high BP before I got pregnant and up until a week ago it was manageable through meds. I'm also 40 so high risk. I was admitted last weekend because my BP got to 187/110 and wouldn't go down even after 3 doses of my BP via IV. Long story short I switched meds. They're working pretty good but my BP is still a tad bit high. My Dr gave me the option to try and flip the baby manually or schedule a c-section. Also my iron got extremely low. 4% 😞 so when my OB said the word rupture I said I'll choose a c-section. So in exactly 2 weeks from now I will be having my first c-section. I had my daughter via vaginally 17 years ago. I'm so nervous. My husband is currently out of state and most likely getting deployed to Poland at the end of this month. Praying they let him stay 🙏

I'm 19 weeks with my second baby (daughter is almost 8 now!) and I'm soo hoping for a vbac. I had a c section with her (after 15 hours of labor) due to her heart rate dropping, so it was an emergency and I had no idea what I was going into. my doctor now is saying I'd likely have a successful vbac and I hope I can because the recovery from the c section was just ugh! I felt so drugged up and not really making any choices for my baby. I'd like to never experience that again 😪

Another dr appointment in the morning to possibly schedule an induction. My doctor told me that over 50% of their inductions end in a csection and I’m not mentally prepared.... 😢 makes me want to cry 😭

@jenniferchantler5794 5 жыл бұрын

One of the most common reasons (even in these comments) for a csection I see is because "baby's heart rate kept dropping". What does that mean? Isn't it normal that the babies heart rate decreases while having a contraction because they are being squeezed?
