I have spent hours and hours in the last 2 1/2 years for others who may have had the same issue as me (nicked bowel) I didnt come here to this site to have a whinge, I have remained silent for all this time.

I can sit here today and accept that there are risks in any surgery and that a nicked bowel is one of those - although perhaps that should have been disucussed throughout my pre-natal period with the OBGYN - he failed to mention it because I wasnt necessarily planning on a c-section. You go to these classes and they go on about a plan etc, but dont mention that there are so many emergency c-sections - what - so they arent scaring you? jeez, if i wasnt scared then, I am totally freaking out now of going through a VBAC and being in the same positon of having a rushed c-section and potentially having some other doctor that I paid thousands of dollars to safely deliver my baby, then be too arrogant to accept that he may have made an error.

If I was more aware of what the risks were, I would have been much more forceful and demanded they commence testing, rather than accepting 3 days of agonising pain. rather than being thought of as a 'princess' who had a low pain threshold because I had a c-section.
