Hello all,

I am hoping to get some real life advice on my situation. I know there’s lots of stories out there but I am hoping some of my questions can be answered here.

I have dealt with many vaginal issues since I was really young and the idea of a vaginal birth with any sort of significant tearing is absolutely horrifying to me. I’m my mind the better option is an elective c-section - but am I crazy for feeling this way??

I am horrible with pain and feel pain on scars for many many years past what I should. I fear that having a c-section would therefore be the worse option but I am also considering that a vaginal tear would be the same if not worse considering the location.

Has anyone had experience with choosing a c-section for fear of tearing and was it a good choice for you or am I naive for thinking I can handle the recovery?

Thank you!

Hello all!

I am 6.5 weeks today and it is ROUGH. I knew it would be but now that it’s here I feel like I have made a mistake and can’t actually handle this.

I have all day sickness and every single food that exists is disgusting. I feel so exhausted and it’s the busiest time at work and it’s getting really hard to fake being ok. (Hate that when we feel the worst we don’t talk about it!)

I am already in so much pain from gas in my stomach and my back kills already and I’m not even big yet.

Just needed to say this out loud…
