C-section

This answer depends on so many factors: in which area of the country the person lives, how much the hospital charges for various services, whether or not the woman had a vaginal or caesarian birth, whether or not anesthesia was consulted (for an epidural or other medication), the length of the hospital stay, whether or not there are any complications, and the type of insurance the person has. Hospitals tend to charge a large sum, and the insurance companies agree to pay a certain portion of that. Most insurance companies make their subscribers pay a portion of the bill--sometimes this is a fixed amount per year, and other times, it is a percentage of the total (such as 20% of each hospitalization). It is not surprising to have a $10,000 bill for a completely normal, uncomplicated pregnancy; but again, insurance usually pays the majority of that. If a person does not have insurance, often it helps to discuss this with a hospital and the physicians who will be involved in advance and try to come to an agreement on how much she will be responsible for after the delivery.

The time it takes to recover always varies due to what the doctor says and how fast it is healing. The average time is around 2 to 3 weeks

Yes you can. But the mother will only be knocked out if there are specific risks or if a mother has heavy, uncontrolled breathing and can't tolerate local anesthesia. But doctors normally use local anesthesia (which keeps the patient awake, but temporarily paralyzed) because it allows the mother to be awake and immediately interact with her child.

It usually takes a very long time to recover from a C-section. Doctors do not recommend strenous activities such as running, athletics, walking up stairs, and lifting objects over 10 pounds for up to 2 weeks. But it normally depends on how fast the patient is healing.

C sections / total deliveries x 100 = C section rate.

If by "natural birth" you mean vaginal birth (as opposed to drug free vaginal birth) then the recovery from a Cesarean is much longer and more painful. With an epidural the labor and birthing themselves are not painful in both cases.

There's nothing you can do. Things happen at the last moment that can change everything.

Recovery time depends on the patient and their pain/inflammation levels (specifically how much progress they are making). And doctors do not recommend strenous activities like walking up stairs and lifting objects more than 10 pounds for up to 2 weeks.

It is recommended that you bathe in the shower following childbirth whether by Cesarean or natural delivery until you see the doctor for your six week follow up.

There is a very slight risk of getting pregnant even with tubal ligation. The risk is estimated to be 1-2% only. It is recommended to use an additional birth control method, i.e. condoms, birth control pills... etc., if pregnancy is undesired.

MOST CHILDREN (by one women)
The greatest officially recorded number of children produced by a mother is 69 by the first of the 2 wives of Feodor Vassilyev (b 1707-fl. 1782), a peasant from Shuya, 150 miles east of Moscow. In 27 confinements she gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets. The children, were born in the period c. 1725-1765." Can you imagine? Being pregnant for 30 yrs, each time with multiples!

There are a number of reasons one may need to have a cesarean section. Some of the most common reasons include placenta previa, breech position, fetal distress and failure to progress in labor.

I can not answer this question. However, I had a total hysterectomy 4 weeks ago and I am seeking this same answer. I have seen this question a few times with no response. So, I guess it is common since several of us are seeking the same answers.. I am still very swollen and can not fit into alot of my clothes. Just letting you know you are not alone. :)

Yes you can, it just means the procedure will take longer than normal, due to the tubes being tied.

Yes.

I've had two c-sections. With my first I didn't have sex for2 or months afterwards because of complications, but with my 2nd, I had sex 5 days after my c-section. As long as it is something you want to do and you feel your body is ready, than there shouldn't be any problems. If you have sex and it hurts and then there is bleeding, that is a sign that you should probably wait a couple more weeks. You may not have fully healed. If you have sex (make sure you are gentle!! you just had MAJOR surgury!!) and you don't feel any discomfort, but there is a bit of blood afterwards, it could just be that part of the uterus lining has come away from all the 'penis poking' going on up there. I do not believe this is a problem. It has happened to me and lots of my female friends. I think that if the bleeding doesn't stop, or it gets heavier and stays 'bright red' for more than a few days, you might want to check with the doctor. It probably isn't anything, but I'm sure it would make you feel better!

Your period should last about 2 weeks the most..

It's not supposed to be.

Sometimes, c-sections can't be helped for different reasons:

1. The mother's pelvis is too small for the baby to pass through

2. The baby shifts position in the womb.

3. Illnesses that make it too dangerous for vaginal births

4. Umbilical cord gets twisted in the womb

5. Nothing happens during labor

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.

Probably as soon as you have your period again. My grandmother got pregnant with my aunt a month after having my father.

It all depends on how long you have/are breastfeeding for and how often you breastfeed. I had my last on April 3, 2009 via c-section with a tubal and I am just now beginning to completely ween him off but I still havent gotten my period. I have started getting some cramping like PMS becasue I don't breastfeed exclusively. As long as you breastfeed your body produces the hormone Prolactin which basically tells your ovaries it is not ready to bear another child yet so you normally don't ovulate. If you don't ovulate, you don't get a period. Once you stop breastfeeding though, your period should return as normal the following month.
