I am having our fourth and possibly last baby in September. I went into labour on my due date with my first and it ended with a c-section due to fetal distress and meconium. I also never progressed past 4cm. I was told to have another c-section at 40+5 with my second because I never went into labour and they didn't want a uterine rupture. Then I was taken in for a c-section with my 3rd at 39w for the same reason as my second. My body never went into labour after that first time. Anyone else never go into labour? Will I never get to have that experience again?

Thought I'd write my experience for anyone who is going through something similar. I am feeling at my lowest. I'm usually the most positive person and always finding the good in a bad situation. It's hard right now.

I have three kids. All delivered via c-section. Ages 9yr, 5yr and 3 yr (next month). After my third child I had gallbladder pain and when he was 1yr old I needed surgery to remove it. Recovery was a piece of cake (compared to a c-section).

I am currently 18w pregnant and felt pain on my right side from my pelvis up to my belly button. Went to the ER and they said its not pregnancy related then checked my kidney via ultrasound and said everything looks good. I asked them to check my appendix and that's when they found it by chance.

I wanted a second opinion and no one would listen. They said if i do an MRI i would need a liquid that could badly affect my baby. My aunt who is a doctor told them we can avoid the liquid and they said yes even though I had asked them before and they said no we can't. I got mad and hubby took me to another hospital. After running all the tests again they said its not am emergency and to get an MRI in the morning. At midnight the Dr came to me and said she recommends I go into surgery now and not wait for an MRI but I can choose which route I prefer so I agreed and i was in at 1am and out by 3am. Surgery was a success and appendix was removed. I'm tired, pregnant, in pain. I have three kids waiting for me to return home today and I miss them dearly.

I have to go through surgery again in 4 months to deliver this baby and I am struggling with being back in surgery and doing all this again. I waited three years to recover before doing it again but 4 months is too soon. Exhausted is an understatement. I feel defeated.
