and i know everyone will be a bit different, but if i can just get a few honest stories i can weigh the risks up in my mind
me and dh have been considering dc3 for a while now and tbh my broodiness is getting the better of me
but the one thing that is still putting me off (and as i say i am aware of how awfully shallow it is) is what state my body is going to be in afterwards
i am 31 as well and had my other 2 in my 20's so my body is not TOO bad, although i have a bit of a saggy tummy, stretchmarks and my norks are beginning to head sadly south and am starting to notice the odd line on my face. but i look ok in clothes and can still scrub up ok if i make a bit of effort. i am not sure i would look that different if i had never had kids tbh, as, at the age i am at there is bound to be some wear and tear
it would be a planned c/s as i have had the other 2 by that method. and also worrying about how bad a 3rd c/s would be pain wise, recovery time, scar etc, as my 2nd one was worse than the first.
would it REALLY fuck things up if i had a 3rd? and lets face it in a few years everything will go to pot anyway more dc or no.
and sorry again for the shallowness. i wouldnt dare ask my friends this question as they would think i am a vain twat mad
