Has anyone in here experienced long term nerve pain after a C-section and gone on to have a VBAC?
Some background: I had a C-section 2 years ago and still have debilitating nerve pain. I've seen 15 doctors, and they all say this is a risk of surgery but that there's no reason that I can't have more kids or a VBAC. They just can't tell me if my pain will be worse during pregnancy due to nerves stretching.
I just received an invitation to a first birthday party with a "chic" dress code and color requirement (green and gold). I am not this type of person, but is this normal now?? Neither of those are colors that we keep in our closet, so if we attend, I'll have to buy outfits that we will probably not wear again.
We have birthday parties at the park or splash pad for our kids.
Update: I texted the mom this morning asking if she could clarify the expectation for the dress code, and she said, "women and girls need to wear dresses only. Men and boys need to wear a button down and slacks or nicer. Khaki slacks will pass as gold for men and boys." I RSVP'ed no.
I am going to try to get in the water with my kids this summer and hope for the best (still have debilitating nerve pain and water makes my pain spike).
Any suggestions for a swimsuit? I haven't been able to wear anything high waisted due to nerve pain in my abdomen, and that seems to be recommended most often to wear after a C-section.
