everything I hated about my section is reversed here. They totally get it. Amazing!

I hope that this will become standard practise soon!

It looks like they had a great experience there, very personal and caring x

Wow - I wish mine had been like this, I always thought that part of our issues bfing at the start were because of having to have the c-section and me not getting skin-skin with G until almost an hour after he was born, I also didn't feel very bonded with him at the start which then made me feel really guilty. If I ever have to have a c-section again I will be asking for this approach to be taken. Thanks titch

I felt exactly the same, BFing was a nightmare, my milk never really came in, I never had full breasts nor did I ever need breastpads. Although once i woke up with a small damp patch on my Pjs and couldve cried with joy Im sure its because of the stress of the c-section, I didnt get to hold LO until recovery, it felt really wierd, just being given him.

I can imagine it being quite a battle getting my hospital to agree to this, they still strap your arms down for a c-section there.

I only felt full once too I got skin to skin immediately after but only a few minutes. I'll watch the video when I'm on my pc. My tummy aches just thinking about my section

I used to think doctors didnt realise the psychological and emotional effects of them, but the consultant on that video... well, id like to marry him please!!

That video made me cry! It looked like such a lovely birth. Wish they could all be like that x

 

[mum2b410]

Lovely video......all hospitals should try this approach!

wish i had that, but i had all these canualrs in my hand wires everywhere i was scaredx to hold him lying down, i had no strength in my arms.. i was traumatised after my section

youre not alone confuzed88

I had some counselling a few months back, I really suffered for a long time. Talking on here really helped too. Dont be afraid to ask for help xxxx

I think what got me was that I was induced, then was in labor for over 24hours,Lo was in distress.. I really didn't want a csection all along but ofcourse for his.safety we had to, but then the pain after was unbearable, not being able to lie down, going toilet, I felt very diem for first 2weeks after his birth but started feeling better when I thought it was for the best at the time.. but do sometimes think about it n have tears

I went through a really similar expereince. youre doing really well hun. being induced is super-hard and then when the heart goes its so scary, I was so scared lying on my side with the oxygen mask on and what felt like a million midwifes and doctors deciding what to do.

Ill watch this later. Sounds silly but I need to build myself up for it.

being induced is hurrendous and bloody excruciating pain! i was only 1cm and thought i couldnt go on anymore with the pain...oh yes i think the whole team was in my room..they were really nice, cant complain about them guys they were great, i felt like they really took care of me, but i think its just the whole csection thing thats got me.

 

[AugustMum]

I found my induction a breeze tbh but I didnt need a drip or extra pessarys etc. Ive heard the drip isnt very nice

Ive got the number of the hospital to book the debrief now. Its on my fridge but I havent rang up yet. Im going to watch the video in a minute I think :/

 

[titch]

Im here with hugs and tissues when youre ready!

 

[AugustMum]

I did it! I watched it!

This is going to sound so stupid, and I dont mean to offend anyone, but it's like she actually gave birth! I dont feel like I gave birth at all, but that was like actual birth. I did shed a little tear when they found out the sex because I remember asking repeatedly if she was a girl because noone had told me.

Im immensly jealous of that couple and I just wish every csection was like that although I totally get that emergancy sections can't usually go like that.

^^ definately feel exactly the same. Its amazing. When the guy talks about, its a small price to pay, slowing down the delivery by a few mins for the benefits. I think some surgeons are so 'medical' that they forget they are at the birth of a child, the start of their life, and the parents are in the room too by the way!

wonderful xxxxx

That's amazing - I was complaining to a friend only this morning that if I have to have a planned c-sec because of low lying placenta that the lack of skin to skin is what I would be most disappointed about - this place is amazing, it's worth an ask! Did have a look at a few of the other 'related topics' videos of natural births to the right of the film - maybe not such a good idea during lunch break!
