Hi Megan

Just wanted to share my story... My OB thought my daughter was going to be too big for my pelvis, and suggested I have a CS.

I agreed, and to his amazement, she was only 3.5kg (approx 7 and a half pounds). It turns out I could have delivered her easily, but she did have her chord around her neck, so that would have presented a slight risk.

Anyway, she arrived safely and i was very glad of that.

20 months later when I was having my son, a different OB suggested I have another CS so I didn't put any strain on the scar. Because I'd already had one, and I had no ill-effects whatsoever (and didn't need any pain relief after the first day post-delivery) I agreed.

I thank God every day that I had that first CS with my daughter, which influenced me to have the second CS with my son. He had congenital heart failure (which could not be diagnosed in-utero) and would have died in during a VB.

I wear my scar with pride - every day it reminds me how blessed I am to have my two beautiful babies.
