Q: Possible C-Section. Need C-Section mamas advice :(

I had an Ultra Sound yesterday and found out that my placenta is blocking the way of the birth canal :( I'm 32 weeks. My doctor said that most likely I will be getting a C-section. I'm due for another Ultra Sound in a month to see if there are any changes.

Honestly I am afraid of getting a C-section and it makes me sad. I've been picturing a vaginal birth. I had a vaginal birth with my first. The baby is healthy and moving all over the place. I am so grateful for that!

Any of you ladies had a C-section? Can you tell me about it? I read on someone's blog that it's awful. They painted a horrible picture and it's freaking me out lol I also want to know what happens after the C-section. Is it harder to get back into shape? Thank you!

Hi i have complete placenta previa aswell have they warned you to watch for bleeding, pelvic rest and taking it easy, it can be really dangerous iv just been discharged from hospital after a bleed, iv had 2 c sections in the past and they aren't as bad as made out, obviously the recovery is slightly longer but no it doesn't take longer to get back in shape, 5 weeks after my lady c section you couldn't even tell I had had a baby, honestly don't freak out you'll be fab and more importantly with grade 4 placenta previa it's safer for you and your baby, gd luck
