Hi all!

Tootie - thanks for sharing about the caesar. I also just read your posts in the caesar section. It's interesting to read about how you felt emotionally and physically as it sounds similar to how I felt after Hudsons birth despite it being a vaginal birth. I never expected his birth to go the way it did and didn't expect to feel the way I do emotionally and physically still now. I have to admit it has made me wonder if I will ever be able to cope through another birth later on in life if DH and I want more children. You mentioned about Jacob not being engaged and also being posterior and maybe next time it could be the same. Hudson was also posterior through the entire birth and this is what caused a lot of complications to his delivery and also my recovery. Has your OB said that if your first baby was posterior this is a good indication that the next may also be? Just interested to know as the thought of delivering another posterior baby really scares me and is the main reason I am thinking about an elective caesar next time. Having said that I will also be considering going private next time even if I do aim for a VB (sounds like I'm off to the pub lol) as I think the OB I ended up with doing my episiotomy was a bit of a butcher and hasn't helped things much. Sorry that was a bit epic 8-[ .
