I had a c section which was slightly traumatic so I'm wondering did anyone have a better experience second time round or were your sections very different both times? Would love to hear if you had very diff experiences during your sections.
Mine started off with the injection spilling over my back after it kept hitting nerves and making my leg jerk. Nurses held my legs down.
Then after baby was taken out quickly within 5 mins, I felt very very sick, could hardly look at baby, reason being was that I lost 2 litres of blood. I'm quite tall and thin, but I had placenta previa, plus pre eclampsia so was induced a few weeks early. I'm not sure the doc knew about the low placenta before the op as I hadn't been dealing with that doctor but the doc did a fantastic job. It took about an hour after baby came out to get me stitched up. I then proceeded to have a high heart rate of up to 159 beats so I had a 2 unit blood transfusion about 7pm that evening. Baby was born at 9.55am.
Thanks for any replies :)
