Deejoy and Melinda,
Yep 17 weeks of hard slog! Halfway there now!
Roll on December! Roll on two healthy babies1
Tiff,
I'm just wondering......when you had the uterine repair and the up/down incisions etc, will that mean that you will have to have the c/s incision in the same place, or is it ok to do a LSCS?
Incidentally, just on another topic, does anyone else think that the flabby flappy bit left is as a result of the c/s (for those of you with flabby flappy bits LOL). I know that I have more stretch marks after the c/s than the day I went into hospital LOL so I'm just wondering if the stretching/pulling down there has permanently affected the skin making it hang a bit? It's pretty unsightly and unattractive! I'm actually worried that since I'll be having a c/s next time around, if it will end up worse and if I'll end up with tummy hanging down around my knees! ROFL Please reassure me someone!
Melinda,
I'm hoping to just have the LSCS and that they will leave the classical insision line alone. The rupture went along my old scar and down towards my cervix so they didn't actually have to cut into my uterus at all, just the skin and muscle layer. I think it will make things pretty tight at the end, with scar tissue everywhere but guess I will jump those hurdles when they come!
As for your floppy belly question, I definately have a noticable apron and it has stretched more with each baby. Some doctors will do a mini apronectomy in OT after the caesar as they say it helps with the healing of the scar (which sits under the floppy bit)!!!! I don't think there is any way of getting rid of it, even after I lost all the weight, excercised and dieted my little buttocks off, it was still there smiling at me in the mirror!
