Anyone going for Caesarian section?

[Frenchkitty]

Im now 37-weeks and I just went for my antenatal checkup today evening.
Baby is still BREECH therefore Doctor advised that he most likely wont turn downwards anymore.

He asked me to pick a date for the C-section as elective would be cheaper than emergency C-section.

Anyone gone/going for C-section to deliver?
how long will the wound take to heal?
Can I still go for the Malay Jamu massage?
How would C-section affect breastfeeding?

Sorry for so many questions. Feeling very anxious!

Regina, cos I heard some colleagues say C-section the wound will be painful so when BF the baby pressing on the wound very pain then they give up BF.
And expressing the milk not as good as the suckling effect of baby so after awhile the milk supply also dwindle..

Curious to know how true also

Both my pregnancies r c-section n i juz delivered during tis early may~

Normally the wound will b completely heal by 6mths time~ (**yes i knw tat is quite long period)

Yes u can still go for postnatal massage but u haf to go after 2wks of ur c-section.

C-section i find it sumhow will affect breastfeeding due to the pain at the wound but it all depends on individual~

im also going for c-sect. had already found a good date, now must check with gyne. in fact my gyne told me 1week can recover liao but massage best to wait until after confinement, so i will book my massage after my confinement.

Anyone gone/going for C-section to deliver? I gone for C-sect for both kiddos.
how long will the wound take to heal? Physically, after 1 week dun feel pain. But inside, prob takes up to 6mths to heal.
Can I still go for the Malay Jamu massage? Yes, but after 2weeks of delivery.
How would C-section affect breastfeeding? Prob feel uncomfy when trying to find a comfy position to bf, but will get a hang of it soon.

 

[Frenchkitty]

Now I need to pick a date as well.

Mine is aso C-section, induce twice but no pain no contraction, so I opt for half body epidural.

If u mean the pain, it take around 2wks, but if u are a pain tolerance like me, the 2nd day, u can walk to the nursery lor, back home I can iron my hubby's clothes, wash clothes immediately lor...

I nv go for the massage, I got rashes at the back, sorry this I can't help, but I regain my weight back after 2wks too. I put on 8kg thru my pregnancy and my boy oredi 3.8kg.

For me, I nv direct BF, I use pump, my hubby see my boy boy 'gek' until face red red, he 'xin tong', but I dun feel the pain when my boy press on my tummy leh...

By the way, u opt for half body epidural or GA?

ochklk I am those who are easily scared by pain or blood and the thought of being awake during operation scares me.
So I dont know what method to choose. Is it scary to be awake during the operation??

U won't be going to see any blood or feel any pain during the operation...but I am a more 'thick skin' person lah... wahaha...and I dun find it scary leh... my gynae, GA doctor and all the nurses talked to me, what will be my baby name, making fun of me and my hubby etc, u will forget u are having ops, just think tat yr are going to see yr bb soon... my hubby aso tell me the process wat they are doing, he told me when I'm taking photo with my boy, my gynae is stitching me up, wahaha...

But after operation, once the medicine went off, u will feel the pain and some discomfort lah...My worse pain is my back leh... I dun noe whether is it the epidural, now still having bad backache...Haiz..

If u choose GA, the only part I think no good is tat u won't be hearing yr bb first cry and see bb immediately... U got facebook? Add me at ochklk@yahoo.com, can see my boy boy cleaning up process in the ops room.

I saw someone got pregnant within 9mths, the uterus rupture and she need a emergency C-section, and she is only 7mths pregnant..but bb safe(Thank God)...

The uterus stitch, I dun think I felt the pain leh...More pain is the outer horizon stitch leh...After the anthestic wore off aft the ops, u will start to feel pain, but u will be given pain killer, I took only when I feel the pain, one nite at home I aso took the pain killer cos my backache and legache really kill me as I take care of my baby myself at nite, my hubby only 'special appearance', wahaha, I find the wound not really tat pain (backache is the best pain I ever had, wahaha) leh, depends on yrself leh, from 1 to 10, I rate 3 for the wound pain, lasted 1wks plus..... but I think epidural is the course of my backache, now still have, Haiz...
