C-Section or Vaginal

Hi Marijke,

Im also not on facebook so if you can give me her direct contact pls.

Thanks

Missy, there is a vbac group on FB where she shared her story. I'm not on FB at the moment but if you are, search for vbac suid afrika (or vbac south africa, not sure which one because I know it's mainly Afrikaans in the group) Let me know if you want to contact her directly perhaps

Hi Marijke

I know this is the wrong thread to ask but where is Kiewiet?

I ahve been yearning to hear her VBAC birth story as she is also from PE side.

Please if you ahve contact with her ask her to post it.

Thanks

Here's an interesting video from a doctors perspective

Deja, yes, it was Patti form Durban being interviewed for Die Burger. The whole article got lost in translation and most of the message is totally skewed from what she said. She is the only practitioner trainer, not the only practitioner.... Personally I thought the article did more damage than good because it really gives a skew idea of HypnoBirthing.

For the rest, I really really don't know when a c-section would be the better option for a mommy. Unless it is an emergency situation? A c-section is a major operation, on one facebook group I chat on, I was shocked to see a whole discussion about the pain ladies are experiencing in their c-section scars with the recent cold weather. And most of those ladies' kids are 3 years old already. They also said that the scar hurts when they get ill, and a doctor told one of them that any inflammation in the body will inflame the scar tissue, making it hurt. I just don't know why someone would willingly put themselves through that? Besides, the risks for mom is incredible when compared to a natural birth!!

With HypnoBirthing, we experience little or no discomfort, so much less (if any) pain. You don't push forcefully, so much smaller chance of tearing. You are calmer, so you have millions of endorphins naturally being released into your body. Both you and baby get the benefit of these endorphins, making you both calm and happy. Endorphins are also 200 times stronger than morphine with regards to killing pain!!!

Believe me, after having done it the "normal" way and then with HypnoBirthing, I wish every woman could experience what I did, it truly was amazing.

And last thought on c-sec, please be very clued up about the risks, not only during surgery but there after for yourself as well as future pregnancies. And these seem wishy washy and reading it you go "oh, that would never happen to me" www.mayoclinic.com/health/c-section/MY00214/DSECTION=risks

I can guarantee you on my fb friends list I can find for you atleast one women who's had each of those risks become a reality because they chose the 'safer c-sec option'. No one really talks about it but the risk of problems with the placenta / uterine rupture is higher with repeat c-sec - the most known about would be Tori Spelling.

And please read The other baby book www.amazon.com/The-Other-Baby-Book-Appro...=the+other+baby+book
it is well written with loads of myths busted and aha moments. If you have a kindle account I will gladly loan you my copy.

Oh yes and if you didn't know, most women actually report s.e.x after NVD being more intense and satisfying

if you actually find time or energy to do the deed after having a baby
