Hi Salina!
I'm so glad you posted. I've been thinking about you.
CONGRATULATIONS!
I am sorry that you are feeling sad. I think that making the choice to have a c section, is exactly what I would have done...or will do if we ever decide to have another baby.
Enjoy your little ones and take care of yourself, too :-).

Salina,

Congratulations! What wonderful news for you and your family! Yeah, a new love just before Valentine's Day.

Please don't dwell on feeling sad about choosing a cesarean section. Think of it as a new way for you to have experienced birth. It doesn't matter the way in which you delivered your child, but rather that you and your baby are healthy and safe.

Congratulations again, get rest and comfort.

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.

My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!

I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".

Thank u everyone im so happy for our family n for my lil girl vivian who is RBPI God sure did answer all our prayers I hope everyone gets to read this....here i go....

1 Week before my water broke with Brandon my daughter raised her R injured arm and said with tears in her eyes mommy i want this off, mind u she is only 3 years old...
So with tears in my eyes i look back not believing what she said to me so i ask what off honey she says this and points to her injured arms scar holding back the tears i explained how some of us has scars on the inside n some are just on the outside i tried to explain that things might get better in time :( she is starting to realize she is different....

So when i went in to surgery to have Brandon i just kept thinking bout my lil princess n i was so scared but she helped me make the best dicition n so did my husband....
So the Dr came in before i decided id do the c section n said ok u r doing this vaginal i am going to warn u i will do what i have to do to get him out i will break his clavicle i started crying than god sent a message i started gusin blood cause the Internal fetal momitor messed up the placenta so touchin thought id share luv u all.
Salina


PS.
So i wonder if i would have stayed in labor how much worse i would have risked....
