Oh my, that sounds horrible!! Personally, I think I'd go for the c-section. I'm not exactly sure what v____al prolapse is... do you think you would even be able to push effectively? Is prolapse a permanent thing (sorry, I really have no clue)? Sounds like a v____al delivery could risk permanent damage, but if your doc is suggesting you try another natural I could easily be wrong... just sounds like it could be really bad.

Vaginal prolapse is the weakening of v____al wall that can cause to have a lump no the opening of the v____a. My doctor told me that since I was able to deliver big baby the first time, it'll be easy with the 2nd. I'd still have to go surgery for prolapse (wait til my uterus shrink) regardless I'll have natural or c-section delivery. I wouldn't have help after birth, I've a 2 y/o son so having a c-section also scares me. Did u have a normal or c-section?

Hi, sounds like a rough decision. May I add that I never even had a baby in the birth ca___l and I had all the problems sometimes a__sociated with v____al birth and pushing (weakened pelvic floor, a feeling my v____a was falling out, dribbling urine, etc.) If you are going to have to have a sling put in after this baby I wouldn't risk the additional problems that come with a c-section. I ended up with a hysterectomy due to internal adhesions that stuck my bladder to my uterus, my colon to the backside of the uterus and bladder injury....sooooo...not to scare you, but in cases of what ifs I go with what I know. Chasing a toddler around while recovering from abdominal surgery is NO FUN in my opinion, also very painful. Good luck to you on your upcoming birth and I pray you have a wonderful, easy delivery and a good repair in the future!

mm24- I've had all three of mine c-section. First was a harder recovery because I had a 24 hour hard labor before it, but the other two weren't bad recoveries for me. I also didn't have much help coming home with the last two. It wasn't too bad for me. After about 2-3 weeks I felt pretty good and after about 6 felt mostly normal again. But then I see people like Chem400 and, wow- that would be a hard recovery!! Ugh- I hate to say it but I guess it's a lesser of two evils decision- whatever may be lesser for you!! How big was your first? Mine was 9 lbs. 5 oz. My 2nd was 8 lbs. 3 oz. and 3rd was 10 lbs. 6 oz. I have cervical scarring and can't dilate, but I'm not sure I could've gotten babies that big out even if I hadn't had the scarring problem. I'm always amazed at people that can get those big babies out v____ally!!!!!

I had my second csection in july. It was planned. It went absolutly perfectly. It was actually magical.. I heard my babies first cry (my first was emergancy and I was put under) It didnt hurt at all. even the spinal felt no worse than the dentist. If you elect for the planned section, it really was more scarry in my head then in actuallity. I was terrified beforehand, and in the actual surgury my husband was way more scared then me, it actually went nice and smoothly. I have a 16 month old, who was 14 months when I had my second section, and I am holding him and playing with him and have met other section mommies who did the same. good luck..
