Celestialagape54 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I'm not a mother yet but reading all these stories about c sections scare me. I really want a natural birth if/when the time comes, but am deathly afraid that because I have very mild arthitis (I don't even take medication for it) and my age I'll be forced to have a c section though I am otherwise healthy for my age. Any surgery scares me. Newwave, don't be scared I think a lot of people just want to recover as quickly as possible after the birth of a baby. Having said that I also know women who really WANT a c-section, they would prefer it over having any kind of pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just look at it as I'd rather have more pain at that time, then later on and having to stay in the hospital longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it is not just the recovery time in the hospital it also caring for the wound when you leave the hospital, mamking sure you follow the steps to avoid infection, and then having to go back to get the wound checked out. A lot more work than having a normal delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I hope so, I check everyday & pray for the best but my skin is pretty much stretched out to the max - my dr even said "she has no more room left in there" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwen Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 I was praying and checking every day too! And got NO stretch mark whatsoever. Only a 'linea nigra' (a dark vertical line over my belly), and... that's STILL there! Great bellies ladies!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metrogirl Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Yesterday was my daughters baby shower. It was a nice little get together. I met Nathan's paternal grandmother and his aunt. Little Nate recieved some nice little gifts. They had the funniest game. You had to make a baby out of chewed bubble gum. It was a hoot to watch everyone frantically chewing bubble gum and then making little babies out of it. One girl was super creative, her bubble gum baby had a little diaper on. Naturally she was the winner of that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dr told me it could take up to a year to disappear after birth I had a faint one (I am very fair skinned) and it disappeared about 5-6 months after I had the baby.
