Hi Guys,
i'm new to the forum and i have a few questions. i'm 20 weeks pregnant with my fourth and due to health reasons my doctor has said i can either have a c section, or a epidural with the vaccum. now all my other delieveries have been normal, but due to my health i can't have any stress on my head so thats is the choices. i've talk to many people and read good and bad things about c section but i have 3 babys under 6 and i was wondering if any had experiences with either or both, haven't heard many things about the vaccum but have heard that you get the whole deal with that, as i mean you get cut the whole through including your musle down there, any advice would be great thanks again
hi hun ive had 3 sections the recovery time is a bit longer than normal delivery it will take u a few days to get up and about walking properly the vacuum(ventouse) is a device that has a little cup type thing that they attach to babies head while in labour and help pull baby out as u push,
here is a vid of section birth
My sister has had 3 sections and she swears by them, she was uncomfy initially, but that was not for too long but on the whole, she thought it was a doddle, espcially her last one! Not sure I would share her views.....but then, I have never had one
My DD was born by forceps, so not exactly the same as the ventouse, but i would imagine it is pretty similar! It didn't take long at all for me to recover from the delivery, & all that really mattered was that she was born safely!
Wouldn't you still have to push with the Ventouse though, maybe a section would be better, less stress for your head, which is what you say needs to be avoided!!
That section vid is pretty nifty! I was born in Hartford, CT!
Okay, I just watched the video, and found on that showed a natural birth. Um, can I just keep the Peanut in me forever.....please? Neither looks like a very good option.

Reason: watched the vid...and wow
if its emergency section and u havent had the epidural then i think they knock u out but if its planned they use spinal block u cannot feel nothing from chest down they also put screen in front of u so u cannot see them doing it but when baby is out they put baby up so u can see after born
Honestly, I'd take a section over having the forceps and or the vaccum. I had both with my son and his head was completely bruised all over for days after, it was terrible to see
