C-section

Taking Charge Through Pregnancy - Being pregnant again was such a blessing and looking back it still amazes me that it was soooo easy. After trying for so long for our first and having to get fertility help, getting pregnant right away when trying again and then losing that baby…….So there I was realizing that I didn’t want to take my chances with this medical group and have someone I didn’t trust involved in my care in any way.....This time around I didn’t let the doctor dictate to me how or what I would be doing......

I didn’t know what I didn’t know! - But I do know now! Have you ever been at a point in your life where you follow ALL the things, don’t question the ‘experts’, and just go with the direction others are TELLING you is the best way?

That is what I did with my first pregnancy and by the end.............

Recovering from C-Section and being a new mom........As much as I wanted to just cuddle and enjoy my new baby the recovery was very daunting. This surgery is no joke, they cut through every layer to get to your baby. Your abdominals are no longer fully connected. The nerves and everything have been affected. I was able to hold and breastfeed her in recovery and I’m grateful for that, but not feeling half your body isn’t fun..........

In the end I gave in to having the c-section because I wanted my OB out of my life and the way I saw it once our baby was born I would have one more appointment with her and then I was done!!!

It was terrifying to go into the hospital for a surgery to meet our baby........
