You have me in tears right now. I am right there with you. I had a small baby, head down. Everything looked perfect for a normal delivery. But I went two weeks late, my doc decided to induce. Well, inductions are notorious for being more intense contractions. With every contraction the baby's heartbeat dropped, and never went back up. I was also not dilating past 2cm. At 1pm my doc broke my water and at 2:45ish she told me I needed a c/s, the baby's heartrate was 80 bpm.
I still cry when I think of the surgery. And I understand your feeling of being cheated. We were cheated out of our natural deliveries. I was so wanting the baby to be laid on my chest to bf right after delivery, and DH wanted to cut the cord.
We all prepare for natural delivery, but when it doesn't happen that way noone knows what to do. I never stopped to think what if I had a c/s?
I later found out he couldn't handle the contractions because his umbilical cord was missing an artery. He wasn't getting a good blood supply. I asked my doc if we could have seen that in the u/s, she said not mine, they were too early 15 & 17 weeks. I now wonder why we didn't have a later u/s, if we had known we could have done things differently.
I constantly review things over and over in my head.

My DH says I dwell on this too much, well, his body was not cut into. He doesn't realize the full extent of how this makes me feel. To have a perminate physical reminder(the scar) of the trauma on my body.
I'm sorry, I think I took over your post. I know I need to create my own post, but when I read yours it was like you were reading my mind, like you were there.

Beth, I'm so sorry you had a similiar experience. PM me anytime if you want...

Marie, DH apologized right away and said he wasn't thinking. He called the guy and cancelled, but it still bothers me that it didn't sink it when the guy invited him out. He ended up going golfing on Sunday though, with a different guy, but it was the day after we had company, so I was okay with that. Men sometimes!

I have to say though, he helped out a ton getting ready for company!

He just doesn't always think...LOL!

THANKS again everyone for your responses!

I'm doing okay. I think DH understands that the c-section upsets me and tries talking about it sometimes. We were in bed the other night and out of the blue, he said "I'm sorry Rae that you had to have a c-section". He's been complimenting me a lot on my body lately, which helps forget the icky scar. Wesley is such a GREAT baby...so he's helping me forget too!

How sweet! That always makes a woman feel good, especially when they aren't feeling 100% I'm glad to hear you are feeling better and that Wesley is such a good baby!
