Honestly you would think that after 4 c-sections i would have "been there, done that" but in all honesty every one of my kids births have been completely different.
Child #1 (son that was adopted)- I was actually in labor (4cm and effaced) but not contracting so i was hooked up to pitocin and labored for 14hrs before getting an emergency c-section. I was up and walking around old sacrameto 3days later. I felt great
Child #2 (Chloe)- was a planned c-section but she still came a little early (38weeks). Recovery was easy and i had a lot of help from phillip
Child #3 (McKenzie)- was an emergency c-section/still birth, recovery sucked and i was in a shit load of pain for a long time, but that has a lot to do with the other trauma that physically happened to my body and the emotional things i was going through.
Child #4 (Avery)- Was a planned c-section that came earlier than expected (but not an emergency status) and she was 13weeks premature.
Emotionally i feel like i have been through "every" kind of birth, a full term labor, a planned full term c-section, a still birth and a premature birth.
