I think you posted a while back that you had elective c-sections with your kids. 

Are most doctors cool with this, or did you have to look hard for one who'd let you do it? (I know you know all the docs anyway, so you probably knew where to look.)

Also - and I apologize for asking such a personal question - could you share why you went that route?  Despite the fact that it's not his vagina, my DH is needing some convincing.  It seems like any online references on the subject are really pushing one agenda or the other - is there a less biased resource out there you can recommend?

Thanks!
Danielle

  • I am going to butt in, cause I had a c-section. Not option but totally glad and will have another one with this pregnancy. My ob will let you opt for one. His wife had 5 c-sections so he is totally understable. I can give you his info.

    I can share with you why my ob's wife went that route (what he told me to help me opt for a 2nd c-section). Her vagina would stay the same. It didn't change anything with the sex or feeling (this is true for me as well) and you can have sex sooner after c-section compared to vaginal births. I was relased at 2 wks and we went right back at it. I think if you try and explain to him that the sex won't change (especially the feeling sensation for you) would help you convince him. My DH liked that we could get back to having sex sooner. He was not looking forward to the 6-8 wks of no sex.

    I'm sure Becca will have more insight, but that is my experience. And like I said I love my doctor (male one though) and he has a great bedside manner.

    HTH!

  • I'll butt in too for a moment.  I had a vaginal delivery and almost wish I had a c-section.  My episiotomy had to be repaired.  So I ended up having to go back under anesthesia (sp) and be sewn back up again- NOT FUN!!!  Not only did DH and I not have sex for over 2 months I had to endure the pain, although not as intense the second time around. 

    Something to think about.  I had never heard of it before it happened to me and neither has anyone else I've told.  A friend of my SIL that works in the office said it does happen.
