Post Cesarean Feelings Survey

Many of you will know I have been working on a project with the website Healthy Baby Network to evaluate woman’s post cesarean feelings, we are going to be wrapping the survey up this coming Monday, March 15th, so if you can take the survey, pass it along, and help for the next couple days, we would all really appreciate it!

I tweeted about your survey. I have had two vaginal births, so I am not eligible to take it. I love your blog and I am now following you.

Stopping by to welcome you to SITS!

I have two children. Both were big babies. My first; Tyler. After 22 hours of labour, and 2 hours of pushing, he became stuck. His heart rate dropped. I was rushed in for a c-section. He turned out to be 9lbs 13 oz. Ouch!!! I remember being very emotional, and would not let him out of my sight. Healing went quite well. Second baby; Cassidy. She was also a big baby. Pushed forever, again with no results. A specialist came in and very roughly brought her out with forceps. I had two black eyes from pushing so long. She had bruising on her little head. She was 9 lbs 7 oz. I also had an episiotomy. I found that much more difficult to deal with than the c-section. Following this I discovered there was a problem. My uterus became prolapsed (tilted) I believe it was because of my daughter’s rather brutal birth. I had to have my uterus removed at age 26. In hindsight I wish they had done a c-section with her too. Obviously I have big babies and it would have been a whole lot easier on my body. Some women can not get a baby out naturally, especially depending on the size of baby. I would have died with my first one if there had been no medical intervention.

Thank you for your comment Michelle, I hope you will take the time to take the survey, as well as share your story in the comments section of the survey so it can be counted.

Question #2 is flawed. You can only choose one option, and the options are these:

Your cesarean birth was: Elective or planned

Unplanned (example – labor not progressing)

Emergency (mother or baby’s life at risk (example – placenta abruption)

First was unplanned cesarean, subsequent births also cesarean

First birth was emergency cesarean, VBAC attempted for other births

Always attempted vaginal birth, some resulted in cesarean

the “first was UNPLANNED cesarean, subsequent births also cesarean” and “first was EMERGENCY cesarean, VBAC attempted for other births”

i had an unplanned c-section for breech and then 2 vbacs. there is no option for that.

and “always attempted vaginal birth” could be someone who had an unplanned or emergency cesarean too. but they would have to choose between that option and one of the others.
