Not for the faint of heart, but needs to be said in response to Ms. Vain.

Yeah, if the C-section goes well but I'm permanently scarred by my first c-section. You see, the doctor was really very tired, overworked and didn't do a few things right in his urgency to save our lives. A week later, the incision ruptured while I was on the phone with a nurse. I was so confused at the pinkish fluid gushing out of my abdomen and spilling onto the floor that I told the nurse that I thought I had wet myself. My incision had ruptured open leaving a gaping hole in my abdomen about 2 1/2 inches long and one inch wide. The doctors were so alarmed by this that they left it open so it would slowly close over time in case fluid backed up again. I had an open hole in my abdomen for a couple of months and daily doctor appointments to make sure I was okay. In the end, I used to cry in the tub because it left a deep divot and wretched scar in my abdomen that would hold water from the bath. I was very grateful on my second c-section when that doctor repaired the damage so I no longer have that. I actually cried. Problem is, the incision along the muscle layer also ripped open. Muscle doesn't heal well and no second c-section work could fix that one. I have to be careful when I stand up because I'll get a ripping pain from time to time. Oh yeah, c-sections are the way to go. You bet.

The second c-section? Oh I nearly just bled to death. That one was planned. I'll never forget when the nurse rolled me over and found a blood soaked hospital bed beneath me. They gave me contractions to stop the bleeding. Imagine contractions on fresh incisions. It was AMAZING.

C-sections are for when it's needed. Take it from me, I know all too well. I can no longer have children because of my two c-sections. That's fine with me because two is enough. I'll be in hell though should birth control fail. I'll have to choose risking my thinned abdomenal lining due to c-sections rupturing and death or an abortion. Last I checked, that problem doesn't happen with natural childbirth....

Yeah, way safer indeed. Might as well get a zipper installed, right?
