Bit of background- my DS born by em c-section due to severe PE/HELLP (at 30 wks); 2 yrs 2 months later DD born by em c-section due to PE (at 36 wks).
We are TTC DC3 (madly perhaps) and I've had a pre-conception consultation with my lovely obstetrician (who is very highly regarded and did look after me very well with DD). She said if I have another it will have to be a 3rd cs- she did not feel VBAC is appropriate in my situation. (will at some point find out why exactly)
I am a bit scared at the thought of facing a 3rd section, especially as I'll have 2 DCs already at home to look after on top of a newborn, one who'll possibly be only just coming up to 2yrs old, the other 4yrs. Last section I recovered from pretty quickly but found the op very hard (lots of scar tissue from first op so took a long time). But still the lack of mobility in the first few weeks worries me a bit (plus I'm a bit scared of the op)
How did you find the 3rd section & subsequent recovery?
