Do they recut old scar?

[Mildez]

Ok so basically you don't have a clear idea. It difficult with IOL to C/S and when to decide enough is enough. Basically to me it sounds like you were not given enough of a chance to deliver vaginally the first time and of course after 1 C/S you are usually offered another one unless you question it and insist you want a VBAC. I hope you have the birth you want this time around.

No problems girls

Thanks for the info...I am having a c/s as the first 2 natural were really traumatic for me and the babies and nearly ended in c/s for both of them and #3 ended up emergency c/s and we nearly lost her so I am not taking any chances this time and are just having the c/s that they recommend. I have experienced the wonder of natural childbirth (I got there eventually) thankfully 2 times I just feel it is safer for me and bub to c/s. I have wonderful stress free pregnancies but awful births.

Good luck with your arrivals...safe and sound no matter how they get here.

Best of luck then Nina hope all goes well for you and your precious bundle

Hi there

THis will be CS No 5 for me..just before the 4th one the Ob advised that there may not be enough tissue ( as they take additional tissue each CS cos they dont use scar tissue) to go LSCS and I may have to have a classical incision...ended up with a LSCS.

Saw the Ob 2 weeks ago and he advised this one may end up classical, and pending where the placenta is I may even need a hysterectomy (placental acretia where the placenta imbeds in the scar tissue is a higher risk for those of us with multiple CS). he also said they would repreat CS at 36-37 weeks so the uterus doesnt get too big and risk rupture.

The good news is the 12 week ultrasound showed the placenta has imbedded on the opposite side of the uterus, so no risk of placental accretia.

My oldest is 24 years, then I have 18, 17 and 4, so I have had big gaps. But I also have diabetes, blood clotting issues and am in my 40s so I guess fertlity alone was an issue for me, let alone complications!

Hope this gives CS mums hope that there is life after 3 C Sections!

That really is good news.

Im so nervous about the whole idea of having a 4th baby knowing it will be another c-s.
You've done amazingly!!! Does your womb feel any different for this pregnancy?? Can you feel the scar??

When are you due? I wish you all the best.

It's not about c/s being 2nd best, I just hated the whole experience. I hated having my baby taken away from me and having everyone in my family hold my baby before I got to. Not to mention the 6 weeks of pain after and a highly unhelpful DH so I had to do everything whilst in serious pain.

I have 2 scars from 2 c/s's. When I had my second c/s they told me they had to cut in a different are due to my old scar moving slightly. So I have 2 beautiful scars. (well you can hardly see them now!)
