Thanks everyone. I have thought about it, and will consider it, and ask as much info as possible. I have never had an complications during VB, no tearing or anything, so I am pretty sure my fifth birth would be the same. However, I was just thinking of getting 2 things done at once, knowing when bub is coming (as I have 4 kids to think about when I go into labour and hospital stay) and also long term contraceptive. My sister has had 4 out of 5 c sections and has recovered well, but that doesn't mean it will be the same for me. I was just looking at options, and I know its major surgery, and there are risks as well, but its just a thought so far, and am looking at all options.
The key hole surgery does sound better, in recovery, but was thinking of getting it done at the same time. Thanks for advice ladies
I will be having an elective c section this time arond after my emergency... I have had one viginal birth though which was also quite destressing. Dr's can acctually insert the mirena in the Doctors surgery now so it may be worth lookiing into that? If you truly would like a c section go for it but the recovery is certainly not nice compared to a viginal birth. My Dr did suggest Mirena because I'll be 26 when I have ub and they seem to think my idea of tube tying is a tad drastic (I don't see how it is, my body, I know I've only ever wanted three children... and no regardless of doctors saying it I don't want to "replace" a child if they pass).
Definately research your options & find out down time and success rates for both keyhole and c-sect. I had an emerg. c-sect and had a great recovery, walking the next day, minimal pain/able to manage the pain and drove at about 3/4 weeks after surgery. I have had other surgeries in the past & my recovery is always good anyway. It is major abdominal surgery, so keep that in mind that your stomach muscles are cut & they cut through alot of layers. I hope you can find non-biased factual information and make the decision that is right for you & your family. GL
I have had Merina implanted, and as low as the hormone dosage is, it doesn't agree with me. The pill or any hormonal contraception doesn't agree with me at all. But I'll talk to my Dr and see what they say. Thanks ladies
