how many of you had cesarians?

I had a c-section with my first baby (pre WLS) and a super easy vaginal delivery for my second (post WLS).  My OB said that if anything the weight loss helped the VBAC be so successful because fat tissue can be part of the reason that my daughter got so stuck.

I had a successful vaginal birth 3.5 weeks ago. I was also about 215 pounds when I gave birth, so technically still obese.

 congrats! whew. because i forsee that might be my weight by the time i'm ready to have this baby.

 thanks for the feedback guys. i appreciate it.

I ONLY had a csection with Tatum because I chose to have a csection. I have zero, like ZERO desire to shoot a kid out of my vagina. I had a super easy recovery from my csection 14 years ago, and well, I wasn't willing to deal with a VBAC. Plus, I have some scar tissue issues from other procedures and had planned on having a tubal as well (which I changed my mind on while on the table), and with my clotting disorder which effects my platelet function and clotting times, they were concerned if I did pop a bleed they would not be able to get to it fast enough.

I'll be having another csection with this baby, definitely a tubal, and hoping for a quick and smooth recovery that I've experienced with my previous csections. 

I agree with the others on csections with WLS patients. I don't get the correlation between surgery on my stomach and the need for a csection. I know one of the Mexico surgeons has videos out where he states those same "facts" and it scares of a lot of his patient. I don't want to misquote, and I'm too lazy to go dig through youtube to find out which surgeon.

I had a csection with my first child so I always assumed I would have to have a csection with my second.  Then I had RNY and I read that due to all of the scar tissue I would be more likely to have a csection.  So when I got pregnant I talked to my OB about it and she said she would just schedule a csection.  I have conflicting feelings about this though.  The first time around I was so scared of the pain of a vaginal birth that I was happy with a csection.  I also had the full 6+ weeks to take off work with pay so there were no worries.  This time around I don't have those luxuries, so a vaginal birth and shorter recovery time sounds nice, but the whole scar tissue thing is scary as well.  So I guess I am going to be going for csecion #2 late June/early July.  

Good luck, I hear tha****er births are amazing.
