Jenny shares her experience with her first emergency C section and then pro tips based on the 5 consecutive planned C sections that followed her first. Consider this "C section 101". This video is part 1 of a 2 part conversation we had. This video is all about the preparation and process of the C section. She covers everything imaginable from whether or not to eat before it, allergies to latex, pain meds, how you might be feeling, nausea, whether or not to shave your vagina, scarring, and a lot lot more. In part 2 Jenny talks about the hospital stay, NICU, pooping, belly bands, whether or not to be active, going home, infection, having people help you, sex after birth and more.

I’ve had two c sections (both of my kids), one was an emergency and one was not. I love hearing her perspective, but I also want to put out there that getting a C-section doesn’t have to always be a scary thing! I promise! Lol. With both my C-sections, despite having surgery and it being kinda crazy, they were wonderful! Just like in natural child birth, there are discomforts and things you have to go through, but please for those of you watching this and maybe feeling like it’s a terrible thing, I promise you it’s not as long as you and baby are healthy and come out healthy. I did a video on this topic this year & I really appreciate Jess for talking about c-sections, because I feel like it’s looked at as such a horrible scary thing, that we are kind of robbed of feeling like our experience is just as special as the experiences of those that have a vaginal birth. Our birth stories (I almost wrote broth stories 😆) are just as special and worth talking about!☺️

My mom had 6 C-section, as well. She just never dilated. She was just happy to have her babies healthily. You are incredible, I've never heard of another woman crazy enough to have 6 kids all by C-section!

I had an elective section 8months ago, he was Frank breech. I do not regret a second of it incredibly relaxed, controlled I got to hold him straight away, I healed well, absolutely no issues what so ever for me. I will be going for another section for my next without a doubt!

I have had 7 C-sections last one last year and had twins 💖🎉

Durenda Wilson had 8 c sections from 1991-2004 and then homeschooled all of them successfully ❤️

This is exactly my story! My first was removed via a necessary cesarean due to baby being in distress and lack of progress at 6cm. I attempted a VBAC in November of 2020, laboured for 25 hours and couldn't progress past 6cm again and so was taken in for another cesarean. Still healing emotionally from it all but thankful for healthy babies and safe deliveries. Thank you for sharing. I truly feel not so alone in my experience after watching this and have hope that I can have more children via c-section. xoxo

I found the spinal the most painful part, because you're cold and nervous and it's your spine they are tampering with. I didn't get to have my baby on my chest in theatre because I felt so nauseas. They also put the catheter in once I was numb because I have a sensitive bladder. My section was a result of being 40.5 weeks with gestational diabetes and didn't dilate despite two attempts at induction so was urgent rather than emergency. So if its looking likely you need one, don't wait until it becomes an emergency, as there were three that had to be done in front of me so they didn't risk me going to emergency as my baby was starting to get tired from all the induction meds and labour. Overall this meant it was a fairly calm and controlled process and decision. What I didn't realise is because there is no squeezing from vaginally delivering, the baby can have a lot of mucous so may snuffle and cough after birth.

Thank God for this video. I had my first child 2 years ago and I was only 19 and very naive. I remember telling my OB that there was no way I was having a C-section. She kept telling me she was a little worried due to my small frame. When the time came and I was in labour pushing for hours my doctor realized she was right and the baby’s shoulder was stuck. My birth canal just wasn’t big enough for the baby to fit through so all of the nurses got on my bed and pushed on my belly until the baby popped out. I hemorrhaged and lost almost 3 liters of blood. The baby was fine by some miracle, my doctor told me usually their collar bones break in the process😓 it was very traumatic and has scared me from ever having another child. My doctor said I will never have another vaginal birth and I should have only C Sections from now on. So I’ve been thinking about having another baby but terrified about what the new experience will be and what if so much goes wrong this time? This video helped a lot!

The nurse who inserted the IV for me asked if I was right-handed. So she put the drip in my left arm to make it easier for me to hold onto baby when she was put on my chest after the C-section. How thoughtful.

[RR-udii]

This video (about to go watch part 2!) is incredible. I’m a new doula, and haven’t had any cesarean clients yet. I appreciate this information so much.

[stacywilliams]

Hats off to her, I have my first c section and I can’t promise anyone I’m looking forward for another one . She did six oh no honey . Everything was scary for me .

[reneegilbert]

So you can hold baby! I had 4 c sections. I did skin to skin immediately after my last 2! They laid baby on my chest and nursed right away.

[JujuBae]

Im having my 6th C-section as Well ❤ thought i was the only one ❤

[camillebaillargeon]

I just had my first cesarean two weeks ago and jumped on this video so quick! Wish I had had this wonderful info just a few weeks prior!

[rachelcole]

I forgot how cold I was in that room. About to have my forth c section thanks for this

[tiarazell]

How spread apart was each C-section, or the age gap between each child? I would love another kid right away after this C-section I had 3 months ago, but my doctor said wait atleast a year to give yourself time to heal.

[Munashorta]

Thank you so much and I felt relief when I saw your video. I have 5 c-sections and now I am pregnant I am little nervous the 6 c- section thank you for the information.

[liali]

This is so helpful!! Thank you! ♥️ We will be having our first baby in July and I just want to know about C Sections too, even though I‘m planning a natural home labour. To me the worst part is right now, that in Germany you‘re currently alone when a C Section is being done. No one is allowed to come with you in surgery, I think that‘s just not ok, because you need that support of someone being there for you. ☹️

[miewiegand]

I have PTSD from a surgery where one type of medicin was wrongly administered (the one that made me not feel anything and be asleep), but the one, which made me paralysed, did work, hence I wasn’t able to communicate.
It was extremely traumatic and everything about hospitals is still a huge trigger for me, however I would love to hear Jenny share her story (if she doesn’t mind) I feel like it, even though not exactly the same, would make me, and probably others, feel less alone.

Thank you for the amazing videos

I had 3 c-sections and I want to have another one. But I’m worried and unsure about the risks involved with this. I’m very nervous. But I also want another baby.
