I vomited after my c-sections. I also suffer A&D and took my AD's right up til delivery. As long as YOU are happy with the decision you make you will be fine. Yes the recovery is longer but having a know date should relive some of the 'unknown' anxiety.
Also staying in hospital for a little bit longer after birth they can monitor you for early PND signs. Not that I am saying you will get PND but it is good to have the drs/nurses keep an eye out for it.
Sounds like you had a good discussion today with the psych. Thats good you made a decision what is best for you.
I didnt vomit at all with both c/s, I was fine. I had an Epi with the first birth and a Spinal Block for the 2nd birth. The Spinal Block has less drugs in it than the Epi as its inserted in a different area of the spine, talk to the OB to discuss, they will explain. I had a choice of either with my 2nd c/s and chose spinal block due to this, was a good decision for me as im scared of drugs and how they affect me. I took my Anti'd's through my pregnancy and after the c/s and am still on them now.
I find it is the morphine in the anesthetic that makes me vomit.. They reduced the amount with my 2nd c/s, and I was still in control even though I was sick, however with my 1st, I was so out of it..
oh thats a good point doing my best, I didnt have morphine in my Epi or Spinal block as im allergic to it. I had Fentenyl maybe thats why I didnt vomit not sure.
a major side effect of morphine is nausea and vomiting. same as fentanyl but more likely to vomit with nausea. you can always ask for maxalon or ondansetron when they do the spinal. that may help if you are worried about vomiting.
I have a massive phobia around vomitting. So I will obviosuly mention that and see what they can do/what drugs they can give me. At the end of the day though I am happy to have a vomit for a healthy bub! I dont really want morphine though.
