Juliette - I know exactly what you mean by feeling ripped off and dissapointed by having a c/s, I`m fine with it now but would dearly love to have a VBAC but I don`t think thats going to be possible at all, haven`t seen my OB yet but with having CPD and big babies the two don`t go together, maybe if I had a girl she might be smaller then Matthew but then how small will the baby have to be to fit through my pelvis. In regards to the placenta, I asked Mark what happened to it (he watched everything, even saw inside the hole yuck!!!!) anyway he said my OB just pulled it out, I also remember my anaethestis (spl?) telling me before the c/s that at a certain stage he`d have to push down on the top of my uterus which he did but I can`t remember why he said he had to do that and I asked Mark and he can`t either, I have a feeling it`s to do with the placenta coming out but not sure.

Nic - I`m like you I`m totally scared of having another c/s, I think I prefer not to know what`s involved but after having 1 well we all know what is involved now. It`s a reason why I`m unsure at this stage as to when to TTC again.

Has anyone found that they have been windier then normal since the c/s? sorry if TMI but I have found I`m so very windy and before the c/s I was never a windy person so I`m putting it down to the c/s.

Take Care
