Sad that i ended up with csect

Hey lady, don’t be upset. I had the same wish as you - natural birth. But I’m diagnosed of IUGR (small baby) and my daughter refused to turn head down (in breech). For her sake, for me to quickly deliver her into the world and feed her well, I opted for cesarean. I recall having to take 2 steroid jabs on my thighs to boost my daughter’s lungs since she won’t be going through natural delivery. That pain was nothing. My husband wasn’t with me in the op room due to COVID restrictions, but I told myself to be brave. It’s all for my daughter. And waiting for 2 years before conceiving again is perfect, trust me. You would want to spend more time with your firstborn until the next one comes. My cesarean pain also took about 3 weeks plus to go off. I remember I had to ask my hubby to assist me down the bed whenever I need to go to the toilet. You’re the queen, just ask for help whenever you need something. Rest well during confinement so that you can play with your child after the nanny is gone. Yes, it’s true we’ll be carrying the huge saggy tummy for a longer time compared to mummies who had natural delivery but so what? I’m also a skinny mom by the way, and I held my pride. That’s our trophy. After my maternity leave, colleagues asked if I’m pregnant again and I told them no, I just haven’t slim down and get rid of those tummy fats. But after a while they would stop asking. And honestly, I took 2 years to lose that tummy without any exercise. Now I’m back to my old self and ready for the next. I am going to opt for VBAC this time (unless there is unforeseen circumstances again…) You’ll enjoy spending time with your LO more than anything else. What’s utmost important is that our child is healthy and we’re safe. Don’t think too much. Be happy. 😊
