Elective C Section

3 replies

Has anyone had an elective c section? I'm pregnant after multiple losses and feel I will just will just want it out. Also have mild HG (vomiting 8-12 times a day) which I'm finding hard.

I'm under private health care. Would love to know stories. How long in hospital etc

People with agendas catastrophize CS and heap on guilt for good measure too
Someone asked me was I sad I hadn’t been able to give birth
err no, not in the least. I prioritised my babies and myself well-being. It was a clinical decision
