c-section

natlee · Nov 9th, 2009, 14:06 PM

Im 33 weeks and starting to come to terms with the fact i may have to have a cesarian due to my baby being breech, i know he can turn at any point but i am accepting it now but wanted to know how long you normally have to stay in the hospital after it? .. this is the only thing i am dreading staying in hospital for a long stay

anybody had a cesarian that can shed some light? x

3 nights is the standard.

But, get your arse in the air woman! My baby was breech and I rolled on birthing ball and got my ass in the air for about 2 weeks before - he had turned by my 34 week appointment

Here in the US... typically its 3 days extra that you will stay. Some mom's stay 5 days depending on pain thresh hold and how well baby is doing. Some doctors are pretty lenient as far as mom staying with baby in the hospital but they won't go farther than 5 days unless other complications arise.

Jeez... you've come to terms with it? I certainly haven't yet. I'm on the birthing ball as we speak.

I am preparing myself too - scary isnt it. over 60% of twins are born by c section - more due to the need for early delivery that presentation. Oh and just imagine having to do both - there is sometimes the need for a c section for the second after going through a vaginal delvery for the first HAHA. Noowww see do you feel better? you could be me and facing having to do both hehehehehehe

yep iv come to terms with it now, id rather have him here safely and if it means having to have a c-section so be it. just one of those things, but i am going to keep trying to turn him myself with the birthing ball etc.. ohhh my i would be very nervous about twins!!! i wish you the best of luck!!! x

Hi - it may depend on your area. I live in the Leeds area and I'm having an elective c-section next week. We generally only stay in for 2 days afterwards. I was a little surprised!

Re the breached-ness of your LO, mine was breach for ages until 36 weeks and then there was loads of movement and she flipped round. It could happen!

Good luck either way.

How do you get comfy? My knees hurt on the hard floor... I've been leaning on my ball but can only manage about 5 minutes. Have been sat on it for hours though.
