Caesarean Section
Newest Review: ... in my first pregnancy it's fairly easy for me to compare them. I had a spinal anaesthetic for my section which completely paralyses you from the lower chest down and is a very strange feeling! but it does wear off after an hour or so once the stop the infusion.

I had a planned C section with my second child following a pelvic problem which developed during my second pregnancy. Having had a normal birth in my first pregnancy it's fairly easy for me to compare them.

I was told at my 6 week check-up after having my first child that I would need to have a caesarean section (c-section) if I wanted more children. As I'm sure you can imagine with a 6 week old baby, having more children was the last thing on my mind. My first pregnancy had gone well but in the last moments of labour it was realised that baby had got stuck, his shoulders were not coming out at the right angle and panic filled the labour suite. Baby did eventually come out (with about 5 Doctors all pulling on him), all 9lb and 3oz, and I was over an hour in theatre being stitched up with a 3rd degree tear (for those who wish to know if I had torn any further it would ...
