Prepare To Be Shocked, Reduced To Tears Yet Amazed & Inspired
Frightened Of Having Another C-Section After Traumatic Birth I fell pregnant with my son at the age of 19, I wasn’t prepared and wasn’t sure if being pregnant was what I wanted. I was in a long term relationship with my partner *Liam so I wasn’t alone. I will be honest in saying that up [...]
I had my 1st son in March 2007 and after 36 hours of labour and getting to 9 and a half CMs I was told I needed an emergency section as my son had shoulder dystocia and if I was to try and push him out I would dislocate his shoulders. All the different emotions [...]
On the Wednesday, I didn’t feel my son move that much defiantly less than 10 times. I waited till my partner came home from work and told him, he suggested drinking some juice, going on my exercise ball, walking up and down the stairs and nothing worked. I knew there was something wrong, I [...]
Most people would rather avoid major abdominal surgery and its potential for complications, unless there is a pressing medical reason. Yet, the c-section rate has been rising steadily over the last few decades in most developed countries. In the United States, it’s now at nearly 33 percent! Some of those many c-sections saved lives, but [...]
I have heard recently in the news that c-sections have now become available to all pregnant women weather or not its for medical reasons such as breech babies, emergency or life threatening to mum and baby. Whilst I understand some women may see that a c-section would be the easier option no pushing, you in [...]
With my first pregnancy everything went smoothly it was all text book, no concerns no nothing. Just a lovely bump and no side effects. Even the labour weren’t too bad although I lost a lot of blood I didn’t think nothing of it until I fell pregnant 2 and half yrs later with my [...]
A picture began circulating in November. It should be “The Picture of the Year,” or perhaps, “Picture of the Decade.” It won’t be. In fact, unless you obtained a copy of the U.S. paper which published it, you probably would never have seen it. The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel [...]
I am terrified of the thought of a cesarean section, something about being cut open and a baby being removed from your insides scares me. It seems like something out of alien and although this operation (as hey come on that’s what it is is), is what I have feared most during my 6 pregnancies.
Increasing numbers of parents are considering having older children be present for the birth of a new sibling. Could this be a wonderful idea, that will allow siblings to bond more easily, or is childbirth a scary and private event that is not suitable for kids at all? Opinions are, predictably, divided on this. Many [...]
I gave birth to my son on 5th February 2010 in Stirling Royal. I understand you may find it bizarre I have waited this long to complain but I was upset and angry at what happened. On Monday 1st February I was in quite a bit of pain in my back, bottom and legs. On the [...]
When I fell pregnant with my daughter I felt very content in the pregnancy in the early stages and anything bad never crossed my mind, after a rocky pregnancy and her being 4 weeks prematurely I gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Shortly after her 1st birthday I started yearning for my little baby [...]
I had an elective c-section 3 years ago. not because I’m too posh to push, or because I’I lazy nor was it because I didn’t want down there ruined. Its because it was MY choice. I had to have check ups through out my pregnancy due to previous losses. At 32weeks a scan revealed that [...]
At around 32 weeks pregnant, a routine visit to my midwife revealed my daughter was in the breech position, I was told not to worry as it was still early days she had plenty of time to turn. By 34 weeks she was still in the breech position so I was referred to my [...]
