Speaking as a man who has had the opportunity to "operate" in various kitty / kitties before and after as it were. I can confidently state that all women should go for c-sections for the sake of the men in their lives. The kitty never recovers from natural child birth, men are supposed to make up for the now expanded kitty with "love", but it doesn't help.

This is not what I heard, this is something I felt for myself several times.

Contraction pain is like a bad period pain that makes one feel delirious like you are on another planet.


Re women screaming, they don't have to but do it out of fear of the unknown, hence reason Midwives always get pissed off with screamers and tell them to shush it and breath deeply instead. High levels of oxytocin, adrenaline and nonadrenaline and endorphins when you breath deeply are increased and this helps with fear and tension. And high level of prolactin heps forget the pain, hence the reason one should always listen to the Midwives. Whilst swimming, if you take a deep breath, your body will naturally float to the surface and with childbirth, same things happens, the more you breath deeply, the easier it is for the baby to ease itself gently down the birth canal.


Again aside from when a woman has to be cut open, tears mainly occur when the words of the midwife is not being heeded. When they say stop pushing, listen, and listen real good, otherwise you will tear yourself badly. And if is is a 4th degree tear, you might have to soak a towel and sit on it anytime you want to do a wee and this can last till 6 months

now i'm scared.

thank you for the information
so elective caesarean is the only way to go in your opinion?

For me, it's natural birth all the way. I had my first baby through NB and within 30Mins everything was over.
They had to cut me a little but within a week the wound was totally healed.

Ladies nowadays brag about opting for CS even those that are yet not married. CS have become fashionable and trendy as though it's some designer clothes and shoes. some friends said all they have to do is just pick a date with the doctor and have their baby. well I dont subscribe to such school of thought.

For me, I pray to always deliver like the Hebrew women in Jesus name. Amen

We're still at this abi? I have been reading and thank God for honesty on our parts. As for listening to the midwives, that is absolutely important but hard to handle. You're in another world as it is and the voices of the doctors and midwives seem to be coming from another planet. That tear heals within a week if you follow instructions. It was so for me but my friend gave in to wrong advice and had to be returned to hospital over that. I have forgotten what the instructions were but need to know once more as my first girl is now in her final year and very soon the first set of wine-bearing young men will start arriving, how time flies!!!!!

Ada, stop being scared; nature and the grace of God ensures all turns out well most of the time. Just keep healthy and have an open mind and it will turn out well. As for the men bothering over widened passages, just get madam to do some kegel exercise and yes why must you put a noose around someone's neck just because you want it tight for life?

Pls sisters help educate me on this: why is it that the tummy of women that gave birth by CS hangs loose and refuse to tighten up like can happen with little exercise after NB? It is that way for the ones I know, is it any different for others?

How early can one start exercising after CS? Breastfeeding nko? How soon can that start after CS?

Doctors and nurses help on this: is there serious risk in epidural? I once read a full page story of a woman who took this option and something went wrong and she is a vegetable; lying still, totally paralysed, feeding through tubes for over a decade and this happened in an advanced country. Not to scare sisters but this painless option could go very wrong.

my sister had a c-section to have her twins abt three weeks ago,
first of all she was discharged after 6 days and she had been breast feeding from abt the fourth day,she was able to sit up on the first day of the operation ,the scar is is gone though she cannot do exercises now but by six weeks she can do watever she like
granted people go to the hospital to ask for c-sections because they dont want to go through labour but when you take statistics you will find out that majority of those who gave birth through c-sections including my sister did so because there wasn't any other way out

Let us not ɗecieve ourselves, the natural form of deliverƴ is ɓetter, safer & cheaper than the ceasarean methoɗ.
If I ɓegin ɓƴ listing the risƙ associateɗ with the proceɗure, ƴ'all will ɓe scareɗ.

I do not think I want to trust an over-worked human to correctly thrust a needle in my back and I do not think I should have read this thread till I deliver, its too pain-filled!
I'm out of here

I had a tear during delivery and it was healed within one week. The instructions given to me was to sit on hard surfaces, close legs tightly when sitting, sit on warm salty/disinfected water every morning b4 or after bath. I did that for like 5 days, b4 one week I was good.

It's been noticed that the tummy of women who went through CS hangs loose and big. infact there is a lady who went through planned CS to have her twins, the kids will be 3yrs soon but till date she still looks pregnant. she has gone through routine exercises and planned diet yet no way. she told me that all ladies that delivered through CS have loose tummies and all the ones I have seen are so.

My friends who plan to have CS when they starts giving birth argues that CS of these days are better done, that they will discuss with the doctor to drain all the fats and oil in their body during the process. I dont know how possible and true this is. I had my baby through NB, my mom did a lot of tummy pressing on me and I was back to shape almost immediately. I bet u will never know I have given birth cos my tummy is all firm and small.

okay ladies , im in need of ur help. im a soon to be mama, my first baby actually, and im expecting dis month.

i need advice on how to make birthing easier, that is for baby to come out swiftly without under going any form of tear. wat sort of exercises do i need now or food i gat to eat?


im anxious and nervous at the same time cos this is my first time and i want it to be perfect.

i had my first baby via c.s(though elective) and it is not as bad as people make it sound.would i go for c.s again?. i would say YES.

TeskyMan, thanks for that frank contribution. It is impatience that leads to many of the cuttings; in some instances they routinely give a cut without waiting to know if it is needed.

You are a good man, a brave one. My hubby swore he will die on all of us if he is forced to watch and somehow he managed to smuggle himself out through all three shows. He came in a few minutes after the first one when they were stitching the cut and swayed and looked very scared. I wish I had forced him to witness one of the births and get nurses to stand near and give him first aid while he looks on. DEEP REGRET HERE. He is a very nice fellow though and does not need to see anything to be loving.

As for the sister who is due this month, God's grace and do befriend the nurses and doctors ahead of time and see if they are willing to discuss options and prferences. Like we all know it is IMPATIENCE that leads to many cuts, see if they respect opinions on this issue. Just eat well and keep fit and nothing go do you!

anyway just come back from hospital and i am having a c-section at 38 weeks - so please for those saying that those that have c-section are looking for the easiest route it is not so, baby is breech and will probably stay that way due to the massive fibroid blocking the birth passage so as much as i would love to push my little princess out i cannot and am quite upset about this.

apart from high blood pressure i have had a difficult pregnancy but still thank God that I have reached this far along after being told I had a 50% chance of losing the pregnancy and being diagnoised with sub - fertility end of last year. For me whatever is the safest method of getting this baby is what i will go with and if the experts are telling me a baby cannot come out of a woman in the breech position I will not question them.

anyway good day to u all and its nice and interesting to read people's stories and thoughts on this topic. I am trying hard not to worry as I know this stubborn baby wants to be born and God is in control

@ Samobi

Lol at your comment. Obviously we weren't successful right

@ Ada

Look unto him the author and finisher of your faith. You will be fine.

Ada here is wishing you a very safe delivery. By God's special grace everything will be fine with you and your baby. My Princess is waiting for her friend

Hello peoples! Its so funny i was having this same discussion with a friend that's an RN and she basically told me that the reason most doctors push for C sections is because they get more money from doing that procedure and you stay a bit longer in the hospital, which means even more money, its crazy. I would opt for Natural, God help me sha.

Have you guys heard of LIPO-C? Basically a lot of celebrities get this procedure done, its a C-section and Liposuction procedure. They take the baby out when its due and then do the Lipo right afterwards. I always wondered why their stomachs were so flat after birth, msccccccheeewwwww. Hollywood is terrible!

don't mind them - we women know this but some men think this is how normal women do their own as well KMT!!

i think a system where people pay for their healthcare directly like in the states and nigeria they push for C-section but i know its more expensive here in the UK so i think most c-sections on the NHS are emergency and probably only planned due to various complications identified b4 the due date

<3

Everyone is doing the C-section. Makes it easier for the doctors to run people through the hospital. They have other things on their mind, like golfing with their friends.

welcome to modern medicine a capitalistic approach to healing.

People let's not talk much about the pain -o-o-o because of people in Ada's condition even I myself that is not pregnant, I am almost contracting from reading about the pains. Miss Ada we wish you a safe delivery, God that started the good work will be faithful to complete it.

@Teskyman
Your testimony is very touching and you narrated it with such respect for womanhood, it's nice to see a man that appreciates this great part women play in enabling a human come into being.Thanks to God that your wife delivered safely and may she keep delivering like the hebrew women and may that same anointing that was with her enable us all upcoming ones to deliver safely-o-o naturally(or if for some reasons beyond our control the doctor decides for C-section or whichever one any of us prefers) and above all may delivering/having children no scatter our blissful place -o-o, may all the babies come and pass and leave it as tight as that of Teskywoman for us and our husbands o-o-o    Amen-o-o-o

Natural birth all the way, the only drama is the pushing part. With the risk of MRSA and what not I won't be opting for CS. My first was natural but had help with forceps, never felt so much pain in my lift (post delivery). My second was natural all the way, i was discharged the following day and I even cooked my favourite myself when I got home.

Interesting topic.

I have a patient on the ward right now who's billed for an Elective Caesarean Section tomorrow - the indication: she's had 3 previous Caesarean Sections.

So, this shall be the fourth. And it shall be the last, also, because she has consented (I'm not sure her husband was in agreement) to have both her tubes tied during the procedure. Technically, therefore, the tomorrow's procedure is an Elective Caesarean Section with Bilateral Tubal Ligation.

Wish us good-luck and God's speed, folks.

Mr. Surgeon,
   Is that tube tying method of contraception reversible?

our foremothers had naturalbirth and they liveth longer, i dont ever pray to go throught any artifical thing becos i was naturally made above,

I was given the option of choosing what I wanted with the second and I choose a natural birth although they prepped me for an c/s just in case but Glory be to God, I had the baby naturally.

@chiarcover
How far apart was your first child from the second? kept hearing ;once a cessarian ,always a cessarian except after many years apart.

CHIE!!!!!!!!!!

^^ Very true. Especially if the client is not a permanent residence(PR) or citizen. Atleast here in aussie if you have either one of the two , "Medicare" will help you out. But if you are not PR or citizen then you pay heaps.

A zimbabwean lady on a "457" visa almost ran mad when she saw her bill, there really was no reason for C section, she was kinda advised to go for it, which she did without knowing how much she was going to get charged

[b]I had an emergency C-Sec. It wasn't planned at all as I was very fine throughout the pregnancy - actually worked till the day I went into Labour - no complications throughout. I had the luxury of lying in the bath during last 3 hours of labour and was being nudged to stay awake - the water was very soothing and calming. Plenty of 'Entonox' (gas) eased a lot of the pain. After 48 hours in hospital (not labouring all that time), I wasn't dilated enough and baby was getting weak. All I remember after that was being told there was going to be a CS, given papers to sign and being wheeled away. Funny thing was I woke up later a bit dizzy, and nurse comes in to say congratulations. I asked the nurse what baby? wondering what she was talking about - cos my tummy was still big - only to find out he had been in a cot beside my bed asleep. Don't remember anything about the operation itself. I give God all the glory! I had to go watch a C-Sec procedure to see what exactly I went through and it was very scary having someone cut into so many layers of you to get a baby out. Thank God for his grace.

Went back to work after 4 weeks. It's taken some 4 years to get my tummy back to it's pregnancy look - would have happened earlier if I had set my mind to get it back. My scar is about 5 inches and below the bikini line.

I know that not all NBs require an episiotomy (although that little cut is a lot safer than the CS cut) but I will ask for epidural or plenty of gas IF I will be having any more babies (at all) by NB.[/b]
