[Guest guest]

I dont see why C-section would shorten women lifespan.I have had 2 , the last

one 13 years ago and i never had any health problem related to them

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.

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

I also have had 2 C-sections. I would also do it again if it meant saving the

baby. My kids are now 23 and 25 and I see no difference in myself because of a

C-section. When giving birth, the baby comes first. I would have given my life

to save the baby. Any other mothers feel the same? Weather the C-sections

shorten my life or took my life, I STILL would have had it to save the baby.

To me, it makes no difference if these C-sections shorthened my life or not.

I had 2 vaginal births and 2 c-sections one vertical and one horizontal. I

honestly felt tremendously better after the c-sections then the vaginal births.

I definately think it is less stressfull on the body having a c-section.

If I could do it over again I would have had c-section. I couldn't walk for 1

1/2 years without severe pain and I still have trouble after my daughter. I was

not going to have a 2nd but I did...first one was almost 9 pounds and the 2nd

about 10 1/2. No more kids for me:O)I did not gain that much weight during

pregnancy so it wasn't cause I was eating too much:O) My mom had 9 kids all

between 9-12 pounds...runs in the family:O)

Much safer to the baby too. In my country (Brazil) we can chose if we want

vaginal birth or C-Section.I chose C-Sections for both.I could have the other

option because both babies were well placed and ready to go, but i dont like to

feel pain and besides that i want to be 100% sure the baby would be safe.

Perhaps it was more comfortable for you and congratulations on the

births. However, I feel that any invasion of the body through surgery

has risks. I am one of those that never felt better than when

pregnant, did not experience significant pain during child birth that

left me screaming and pleading for meds like you see on lots of

television programs. The fact that you needed 2 by C-section may just

state that either your children were large and healthy (God bless them)

or that your body was just not equipped to push them into the world

naturally. In any event, again, congratulations on 4. For personal

reasons, I stopped at 3 and sometimes wish I had more but no way at 46

and the last one almost grown I am turning back. I will happily but in

no hurry await grandchildren to spoil.

you did or didnt have c-sections? Sorry for my confussion LOL.

Well I did have lots of trouble w/all pregnancies. The first was over due and

had low amniotic fluid and was induced, but the labor wasnt too bad. The

second was 6 weeks early and literally fell out on the bed. The third was breech

thus the c-section, and then I lost one at 18 weeks, and the fifth was almost 9

lbs but I could have delivered vaginally, but I also needed to have a

grapefruit sized cyst on my ovary removed along with the ovary thus the second

c-section. Even with all the trouble though, I still recovered much faster from

the

c-sections than the vaginal births. Thank you though for your nice comments on

my four little ones. You are lucky to have had uneventful pregnancy/labors!

Will all wish for that, but no such luck here LOL.

A C section may remove some danger

from the birth process, but it introduces

others.

As in so many instances we are trading an

acute danger (getting stuck) for more

insidious long-term ones.

 

To begin with, C-born babies do not get

a good load of beneficial bacteria from

their mother during the trip out.

 

Also, we are programmed to wriggle our

way down the birthcanal.

If this process doesn't happen because

we get plucked out of the womb from

outside, there is an increased risk of certain

neuro-developmental complications.

Caesarean sections are like other medical

treatments: sometimes necessary and life

saving, but to be undertaken with due caution.

I was wondering, if because it is nature to push ourselves through the birth

canal, and during c-section this doesn't happen, you say it can cause

neuro-developemental complications. First could you elaborate on this via

examples?

Also couldn't it be just as harmful for a baby to be on their way into the

world, and get stuck and have to sit in the birthcanal until finally pulled out

with suction/forceps or shoved back in and then taken c-section any way? Just

wondering because I had a vaginal birth that needed assisstance and also a

c-section due to breech postioning. Thank you for anything you can add to this.

I agree with Leneke on this one. To add to that,

babies that are born C-section don't get the

opportunity for hormones they will receive while in

the birth canal. They are presented with an infant

version of PTSD! They are not allowed the birthing

process which in normal and are yanked out and exposed

immediately to an environment for which they didn't

make the transition to. Many emotional and mental

issues can later be contributed to this type of

birthing experience.

 

Second this surgery cuts through Medians in the

mothers body and cause scar tissue issues that many

not be apparent immediately, but can have consequences

many years down the rode. Loss of muscle control and

support is another side effect. Loss of muscle control

can cause issues with bowel and bladder control

amongst over things. Scar tissue can cause bowel

obstructions and other issues.

 

Dr. Janov in his book called " Imprints, the life long

effects of the birthing experience " talks about the

drawbacks of the C-section and is very clear on the

downsides to this. Excellent reading.

With all four of my babies I noticed a few things. All four were happy,

content babies with get personalities from the beginning(I got lucky) the

c-section

babies didnt have any more adjustment problems then the vaginal birthed

babies BUT I did notice things about breast feeding. I did not produce as much

milk

or hardly any after c-section which I did after vaginal birth and my

c-section babies didnt take to breast feeding while my vaginal ones would have

but I

chose not to breast feed them( I was younger and didnt fully understand the

benefits then).

Lisa,

 

I put a tiny url link in the original post

that goes to a more in depth article on

the neuro-developmental issues.

 

I am no expert on this. I had just heard

about the spinal-galant reflex in the

context of ADD research, did some Googling,

and came across the article that the URL

goes to.

 

You are absolutely right, there are times

when a Caesarean is life saving and is better

than not! It sounds like your child's birth

was clearly in that category.

 

So don't worry about it. You did what you

had to do.

 

But it doesn't hurt to be aware of some

potential issues. Like the need for extra

probiotics, and maybe some brain gym

later in childhood if the child turns out to

be very fidgety.

 

In friendship
