I'm not a fan of them. I've had two abdominal operations in he last 6 months, and I can tell you that recovery is not fun, and it hurts! Much rather give birth naturally.

Im not a huge one for worrying if things go wrong its just the actual thought of what is being done to me that i cannot stand ...

If im asleep i have no recollection of anything but being awake ... aaargh!!

I've had two and will have another in August.

First of all, one has to remember something - the health and life of your child. With my first, after two days of induction hell and contractions, my baby and I were under stress, I was not dialating and I potentially could have lost that baby. I am lucky she is here.

Secondly, unless something is really seriously wrong, they will not put the mom to sleep during the C-section. I've been awake through the C-section procedures and seen my babies right after they were born.

Thirdly, I've talked to many women who have had C-sections and never heard anything happen like this story.

millions of women have been there and done it so it cant be that bad right?

I work as a theatre nurse and work years ago in the obstetric theatres...

C-sections are an operation at the end of the day...you wouldnt go in to be cut open unles syou really needed it.
As with ANY surgery there are risks to this...babys being cut by scalpel yes its not nice but if you see how thin the sac layers are AND in an emergency situation they just want to get the baby out so they can be treated by medics and mum safe and well.

Its very unfortunate that this lady ended up with a non flat stomache and as distressing as it probably is for her to be trawling between plastic surgeon and obstitrian she is still alive to do this...I assume her baby lived too.

As I said its such a horrible thing to have happened to her and her child but she is still alive to tell the tale.
God sorry I sound harsh...it just gets me sometimes....

C-sections do have risks as does natural childbirth...but should never be considered an "easy" option or for "too posh to push and tummy tuck at the same time" REALLY bugs me but for medic reasons I agree fully and save many many lives...

As I said I am sorry if I sounded harsh or ranted...this is mearly my opinion.

Over all the years I worked in this operating theatre only a hand full of cases didnt go as planned...but nothing "bad"...yes a few scalpel nics to baby in emergency situations but they were fine after healing.

I hope I didnt scare anyone as this wasnt my intention.

I saw something about that on TV today ... having a tummy tuck whilst having a c section!! What on earth ... as if recovering from a c section wouldnt be enough?

elmaxie

I know!! Not done on NHS...as far as I am aware...

But thats how many of the celebs get back into their skinny jeans just weeks after givingbirth....grrrrrrr...really really bugs me. Make real people feel inadequate when they havent got back to their "normal" after a few months or so...

As with everything id give it a bash on my own first and if i couldnt shift it i'd prob have a tummy tuck. But i think you've got to at least give things a try before you resort to things like that

I never thought that they could give a tummy tuck during a C-section. My OH and I had this talk.

I always thought they couldn't as the uterus and everything needs to go back to normal before having it done or else the tummy tuck would just not work.

Strange!

In US,they'll give you a tummy tuck while fixing your tooth.

I know that c-sections save lives but this story made me totally freak out!Thanks guys for a small calm down...
