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!

I've had 2 c-sections, last one 3 weeks ago. It really isn't that bad. With the first the dr gave her to me even before they cut the cord for skin to skin contact and she stayed with me the whole time. My second was an emergency at 35 weeks and baby went straight to the paed as she wasn't breathing well.

The recovery really isn't that bad. I was driving within a week and have had very little pain. The first three days the pain is very bad but after that it's tolerable.

Good luck and don't worry about it too much. Just remember that the safest delivery for Mom and baby is best
