Re: How to kick-start labour naturally?
very very honestly, after having been thru what was a hellish labour and delivery exp, and then the crap u go thru post partum, c section isnt as bad as its made out to be.. and what do u know.. the doctor actually is sorry she didnt go that way for me and insisted on a vaginal delivery… and believe u me.. just cuz there is such a thing as inducing, it does not mean that baby will come out soon or even fast.. imagine dilating a cm an hour! after inducing, my baby come out 13 hours later!! cuz there were hours where i just didnt dilate! oh and epidural CAN stop working or just not work for u.. so 13 hours of contractions where nothing is happening.. cept ure feeling ure contractions and that epidural aint working… ya..
so dont rule out c sec just cuz its about cutting u open. .sometimes its way better than a vaginal delivery. i got a hernia from pushing and pushing and then pushing some more.. bleeding haemrroids (sp)? and after routine post partum check up, got told that for the 2nd baby, i should opt for a c sec to save my body some trauma the 2nd time round.
so if things arent going easily the vaginal way, have taht c sec!
p.s) sorry if i scared u.. but i wish someone had told me taht c sections arent so bad and vaginal delivery isnt aways the best way .
