C-section

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

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

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.

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.

I have seen women who delivered vaginally after previous cesarean sections. These are called VBAC (Vaginal birth after C-section.) You have to discuss with your OB doc. There is an increase risk for uterine rupture in VBAC. This is because you have a scar in your uterus from previous surgery. It is a potential weak point under pressure. This is why the most common reason for having a cesarean is the previous history of cesarean. There are plenty of other reasons for having C-section initially like breech, multiple births, fetal distress, and others.

Yes. It's called VBAC - vaginal birth after Caesarian. It used to be thought that it was unsafe to do so, but recently the VBAC has become popular and with work and care, an acceptable practice. Of course, your doctor will have insight into your specific case; it depends on what the conditions of your other c-sections were as to whether they will recommend a vaginal birth for you.

If your tubes were tied, c-section or not there should be no way to get pregnant. Unless of course the operation where they tied your tubes was botched somehow.

Tubal ligation is one of the most effective means of birth control but still not 100%. Between 1 in 500 and 1 in 1,000 women will get pregnant every year following a tubal ligation. Occasionally tubes will even heal.

If you've had a tubal ligation yet think you might be pregnant you should contact your health care provider as soon as possible.

Most doctors recommend waiting six to eight weeks after giving birth by Cesarean Section before starting (or continuing) an exercise routine. Obviously there are cases that involve a longer wait time, and there are some women whose wait time is shorter. Because your readiness to begin an exercise routine is dependent upon your body's unique recovery process, it's best to get a specific recommendation from your doctor.

Natural child birth is when the baby is born by coming out of the mother's vagina. A C-section is when the baby is surgically removed due to labor complications or the labor becoming life-threatening to the mother or child

Usually about a week - if you are having major cramps or heavy bleeding, please contact your doctor. & if you're waiting for results - pray! everything will be okay - been through it - good luck
