Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi! I am expecting baby #3, boy #1 in June. I will have my third c section then. My first was a breech baby so I have elected c sections since. I have had two great c section experiences, wouldn't trade it for anything!

Hi Jenn, I am not having a c section in may or june but I did just have one this month. It wasn't as bad as I have heard or ever imagined. I was a bit sore but other than that all is ok. I had my little girl 1/12 and I am getting around just fine now and have been up and around since 1/13.

hi ladies, I am glad to hear that you both had good experiences, I had an ok one with my emergency c, I hope that it will be better and less crazy this time.

I will be delivering a baby boy by c-section in June. It will be my second c. I thought my first c was MUCH smoother that I had expected. Of course, I'm still a little nervous, but I would be nervous no matter which way I was going to deliver.--I'm just a worrier by nature. This one will be a little bit different for me though, becuase the first was not scheduled. Any advice or comments?

Hi ladies!!! Steph-I am having a section on the first of June and I too am nervous even having one prior. I hope that this one doesn't go as hectic as the first since it is planned. One thing that I am going to do to prepare is to have some meals frozen so my dh can just throw in something!! When I had my first son, we weren't expecting a section-I didnt even read up on it bc I thought that I wouldn't need one-but I swear that my husband starved and lived off of cold pizza!!! I have a friend that had offered to make a dinner for us for afterwards-but I am stocking up on ca__serole recipes!! Funny huh?? Also, I am taking some more clothes-I certainly didn't enjoy the hospital gowns too much. But that is it for now...hope all is well!!!

Jenn--thanks for the advice. Did you get your recipes online by chance? Great idea about the gowns--those hospital one's are the pits!! Especially if you are b___stfeeding. Thanks again and good luck.

Steph-yeah, I google it-just easy recipes or quick dinners or even ca__seroles. There are tons of recipe websites, I don't have a favorite yet-and the have those easy print options and then I just go on to the next...actually it has helped now too bc I have been tired and kind of slacking in the dinner department so I had to find somethings that were different and not too time consuming-and of course stuff that an 18 month old would eat!! Seems to be working well!!

Oh yeah, something that some wouldn't really think about till your out of something-I am going to go throw the house a week prior to be sure that we have everything that we'll need-like laundry det. shampoo, dish soap-It may seem silly but my husband is a general contractor a works a lot when it is warm out and I don't want to have to send him out for anything-not that I don't trust him-but he doesn't know what we use, etc. He gets confused about those (no offense) "wifely things"-and diapers! For both kids!! I certainly don't want a grocery list of things when I come home from the hospital!! Just an idea....

great idea!!!

I too stocked up on premade frozen meals when I had #2. Some of the meals that froze well were: Lasagna, meatloaf, chicken tetrazinni, chicken and noodles, chili, potato ca__serole, king ranch ca__serole, etc. It was invaluable to me to have these in the freezer. I also make sure the house is stocked with everything especially the things I will need after the section: sanitary napkins, b___st pads, etc. I'm already looking ahead to buy Father's Day gifts early too.

HI YES IM HAVING ANOTHER C SECTION IN JUNE!! IM 20 WEEKS. WE ALREADY HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD LITTLE BOY!! FIND OUT THE 15TH WHAT THIS ONE IS.

Hi Jenn I will be having my planned c-sect on 8-2-06 Im 15 weeks and I havent found out what its going to be all I know is its my last

Hi I'm Tina this is my 1st c-section and 1st baby so I am terrified. I am going to be scheduled for a c-section in May cause I have ovary issues they want to check out and they thought it would be safer for me and my baby to go for the planned section 4 weeks early. Feel free to email me at my regular address. puddlejumper@i2k.com

hi ladies-wow there sure is a lot of us with c sections coming up! I am so glad to hear that everyone is doing fine. I am now 25 weeks and have been experiencing some puking and spotting-I have an us in the morning-but the doc is sure that all is well. I still feel the baby move and heartrate is right on track! Hope all is well!!

HI everyone Im having a c-section the last week of March and Im very nervous . My first was c-section not planned. But im looking forward to having my second son. (My first is really keeping me busy in the mean time)And i"ll be so glad to get rid of this HEARTBURN. Anyone else having this problem?Any helpful tips?

I am a bit confused, I had to have a scheduled C for my baby in Jan. and I won't go into how much I hated it and the recovery, but what I would like to ask is why are they doing it 4 weeks early? I mean that IS a premature baby, especially if it's a boy. I had an IUD that didn't prevent pregnancy and they worried about it towards the end of my pregnancy but they still wouldn't do the C until he was at least 37 weeks. I understand you have a medical condition, but my baby still had some RDS and spent a week in the NICU. I am ot trying to worry you or anything, just hoping your baby will be okay.
