Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I have had 2 C-sections and the only problem I have is that after going through menopause I find that a layer of fat has gotten trapped above the scar. I looked it up and it is where the most common fat problems are, above lateral scars. I don't remember where I found it but it said that massage during hot baths helps keep it from just sitting there and reduces the risk of it housing bacteria that could cause serious infection.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I am wondering if anyone has any known or researched facts about a probable shortened lifespan or further complications that women could face after having a C-section. Are there places on the web to read about this specific topic? Thanks Karolina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Well, since I had 2 c-sections, I'll be interested in any comments on this! I really don't see how it could affect lifespan though.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Karolina, I do believe that that depends on the woman. My mother is in her 70's and still going strong and she along with all of her daughters have had C-sectons as well as complete hystos.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I have had 2 C-sections too but my scar is horizontal, very small, 2 inches lenght only and the fat doesnt get trapped there. I didnt have ANY problem with my 2 C-sections.

I didnt have ANY problem with my 2 C-sections. I wish now that my scar was horizontal, this fat is very annoying and now that I am older and it is gotten bigger I am becoming conscious of it. I wish I could afford to get the fat removed. Debra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 It's actually worse for the baby to get a c-section. The struggle to get out of the birth canal is what helps the baby get its blood pumping and also helps clear the mucous from the air passage so they can breathe easier. Alot of children that are born through c-section typically develop respiratory issues. The only real worry for you is scar tissue, infection after surgery, and whether or not with your next child you decide to give a vaginal birth...my understanding is it's more dificult to do a vaginal birth after a c-section.

Many of us believe we should birth unhindered and have no outside influence in the birthing process. C-sections are on the rise but they still have risks for both mother and baby. Sometimes a c-section is needed (very rarely) and most times it happens because of invasive procedures done to you once you step foot in the hospital! This is a story we like to share: The Cocoon A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared, he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther. Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly. What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. And we could never fly. ~tam~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
