U should expect not to b in any pain, first off. If its a planned one the docs may opt for a spinal block instead of an epideral bc with an epideral it might risk a dead nerve, which mean there may be a spot that is not numbed and causes u to feel pain during the procedure. Of course, in emergencies they will give extra epideral. Before they cut u, the doc will test to see if u r numb with pointed prongs. Its rare if u feel the procedure, but I had a friend who did. U will be fine. The c section will be quick, quicker in er situations. U won't feel too much pain. Sometimes, they will leave the iv epideral running and u will have a standing order for some percecet or some other narcotic. Some ppl will shiver when not cold or itch bc of the iv medication. This is a normal response and u will have a standing order for benedryl. Expect not to eat bc they can't feed u until they know u will keep down food and ur bowel sounds return. It is not uncommon for u to vomit the first fe hours. U will bleed less than thos who had vaginal births, and bleeding will increase as u increase ur activity. Recovery time is longer compared to vaginal births. Any more questions? If so, ask. I'm a nurse who had four c sections!

If you have had 1 c section birth if you have a second pregnancy what type of birth would it be?

Most ObGyn's will only deliver future pregancies after a c-section by another c-section. The primary reason for this is that a previous c-section greatly increases the chance of rupturing a uterus during natural birth.A ruptured uterus is a life threatening emergency for both mother and baby and generally must be removed (the mother can have no more future childern)Some OB's will allow a mother to try natural birth after a c-section... talk to you doctor.


Why do women who have had a c section always have to have c sections?

Not always, there are women who tries to have a vaginal birth after their first C-section but that is also up to the doctor. When having a c-section there will be a scar and that scar can burst during labor and with every c-section the scar gets thicker and more vulnerable. That is why they say you always have to stick to c-sections.
