After birth I could barely walk. With David I had a 2nd degree tear but the recovery was SO much better. I was surprised when they told me I had a 2nd degree tear because I felt so much better than the first time around. Within an hour of giving birth I was walking around and picking up our stuff to move to another room. Michael had to ask me to sit down and take it easy. While I cannot say I have ever experienced a fourth degree tear, I did come pretty close. I definitely don't think your fear is irrational! But who knows, it could be better than you expect the 2nd time around...<br />Monday at 8:12pm · Like<br /><br />Rachel Bassett While I don't share the same reasoning behind my fear of bringing baby #2 into this world, I can relate. With only a few short months to go I am starting to have some anxiety & while everyone reassures me that "everything will be fine" I guess I am having a hard time accepting that all the what ifs are only what ifs & until the day comes we won't really know what to expect. So we step back & take a deep breath & just have to jump in head first as we did with baby #1 & roll with the punches : ) In the end, as I'm sure you have come to realize, its all worth it in the end : )<br />Monday at 8:24pm via mobile · Like<br /><br />Sara Ambler Oh friend, I understand that that is a really tough decision for you. I can only speak for my experience the same way you can speak for yours:) if you decide for the C, I would love to be there with you, but I don't think they let you:( For that short time I was on the table, I realized I had no control...something very difficult for me to come to grips with. But ultimately it was so good for me to go through. It forced me to fully rely on our Savior and pray though it. (Daniel was great, but WAY into Shyloh at that point) Just me, my God and anesthesiologist;) Whatever you choose, you are never considered a looser, because you are bringing a child of God into this world!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731686624110880199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765337936296997759.post-75947409537603240632012-04-23T18:31:39.533-07:002012-04-23T18:31:39.533-07:00Dolores Basaldua Lawrence likes this.

My sis had a c-section and actually loved it. I mean literally loved it. Said it was a breeze and barely had any pain after and recovered super fast. Maybe you'll be blessed to love it too. :-)<br /> 30 minutes ago via mobile · Unlike · 1<br /><br /> Amanda Reese Garibay Are you pregnant?<br /> 29 minutes ago via mobile · Like<br /><br /> Dolores Basaldua Lawrence For various reasons I wouldn't call a c-section a "loser" way out. Especially since you will NOT be a loser if that's the way you decide to go. Incontinence is no joke regarding damage that is caused to your lady parts. I pray you have a wonderful and safe delivery regardless of which path you decide to take ;)<br /> 28 minutes ago via mobile · Like<br /><br /> Melissa Perea No :) we don't want to be pregnant until after our trip to Italy.

I promise! You get back into your groove a lot sooner, which is best for everyone.
