yellowpawpaw:
There is no bad thing in cs.I will definetly give birth to all my kids tru that.unless one uses bad hospital and wrong timing.

SniperInADiaper:

No bad thing in cs? Surely you are just kidding.

honey86: it would be nice if nairalanders based in Nigeria can give us names of good hospitals where they have given birth in the past.

Policewoman: He is a guy, don't mind the trollers.

aysometin: Hi Brito,

So sorry to hear about your experience, CS is never easy for anyone but depending on the support and kind of care you get, it can be a whole lot easier.

First of all, was it the hospital, the staff or the way the surgery was done? If so, I suggest you do research on very good hospitals around you. I hear once you have had a CS, you are more likely to have another but you can prepare yourself.

olivegirl: in ajah here I live. Ikota family care hospital is very nice. They gave me good attention. Pls use them . At the back of ikota primary school

Policewoman: I would advise those going for C.S to request for an epidural. It makes the whole thing less painful and quick also. But sha make sure your husband finds out if they have a good anaesthetologist. For Abuja, DIFF, Nisa Premier, Zankli are ok, but they are very expensive (some C.S can cost as much as N1M)or Asokoro, Maitama or Garki general hospitals. Abuja clinics too is very good. One of the best.

Policewoman: DIFF charges like N850,000 for a normal Caeserean Section. That is with enough ABEG Ohh!!!

aysometin: For me I had my 1st baby at Basildon hospital, my midwife was cool from another african couNtry I guess. On my birthday I was 34 weeks and went for the regular checkup and she found out I had preclampsia, I was rushed to the hospital and the kind of care I got was amazing. I was at the intensive care unit with about 3 midwifes and one consultant attending to me. They were trying to get my BP down so they can bring out the baby. The consultant even said to me ' I heard today is your birthday so I will make sure you have the baby today', they were so nice. I was rushed to the thheatre when they sensed the baby's heartbeat had dropped at about 11.15pm. After all the preparation the consultant said what's the time? They told him 11.45pm, he said we must have this baby today. He started working and was asking of the time at intervals, he brought out the baby and asked for the time and they told him 11.58pm and he smiled, everybody started clapping. My hubby told me all these because I was to weak to even notice, I just heard the clap and thought it was because my boy was born.

el-patch:
There are various indications for the use of general anasthesia as against spinal in c-section:for instance in eclampsia(when a pregnant woman convulse during pregnancy due to high blood pressure and some kidney damage)-you don't want to give spinal cos it may trigger more convulsion which is not good for the patient's brain.although this is an area of controversy.Also,in a centre where the personnel to do spinal is not available.
For episiotomy-surgical incision made on the vaginal to allow for the head of the baby to descend.anything that will not allow the head to descend well in a favourable cervix is an indication for episiotomy.also if instrument like forceps is to be used to assist delivery,yes episiotomy is a must.however,not all vaginal deliveries require episiotomy.
I hope somebody has been educated.

Thanks for clarifying. The point about episiotomy is not clear. Are you saying, it is only when instruments need to be used that an episiotomy becomes necessary. I have heard some teaching hospitals just cut all women o. I sincerely hope it was an exaggeration.
