Repeat C-Sections: shameless self promotion of my blog.

[Ruth_Baldock]

For those of you who may be looking towards a repeat c-section, or considering you're options in a pregnancy following a surgical or traumtic birth, or having a c-section for the first time, this may be useful for you. It's my daughter's birth story, she was born via a RCS 8 month ago. She was a planned VBAC, but went very overdue.

Thanks - I did find this very helpful, as I am planning (99.9% sure) an elective CS this July, after 4 days of failed induction last time ending in an emergency CS. I am really hopeful that it'll go like yours did!

Thanks for sharing that Ruth, it's so nice to read something positive about C-sections, like you I've come across people with some pretty odd attitudes to them including from medical professionals and I find it weird how different the approach is here compared with the US. I suspect neither country really has it right at the moment. I blogged about this recently myself here: Southwarkbelle sorry for the even cheekier adding of my own blog there but it seemed relevant so I hope you don't mind!

Also well done for dealing so well with other peoples comments, I wish I'd been better at that after my emergency CS. If I ever decided to face it all again it's reassuring to read that it can go well.

I also had a repeat & elective CS after failed induction first time round - It was very similar to Ruth's experience - very calm, civilised, quick and felt much safer than the debacle that was birth of no.1.

Glad to see others with similair positive experiences; it's not all doom and gloom! Akc74; I'm so glad this had helped ease your mind somewhat :)
