Questions about planned c-section/problems/previous csection?
To start, im 35 weeks pregnant now, and have a scheduled csection at 39 weeks. I have to have one. Anyway, my concerns and questions are that I had a terrible time with my first. I had pre-eclampsia, which turned into eclampsia the night of my Emergancy c-section (5 weeks early). My baby boy was born 5 lbs. and healthy, and we went home 3 days later. BUT, I had severe post partum depression that lasted a year. While i was in the hospital i was SO miserable, no matter how bad i tried to be happy that me and my baby were fine. And on top of that, had NO privacy the whole 3 days. I have some pushy inlaws that just wouldn't give me any privacy or time to bond with my baby. I even had 3 people IN my house the day i got home. And worried about the bleeding...had alot of blood after my section, like the nurses actually had to force it out (sorry TMI), but does that happen with a csection, or was that just an after affect of the eclampsia? another question is mainly that did anyone else have something similar to this happen? And if so, did your planned csection turn out better? Did you have postpartum depression with the emergency csection and not with the planned? Im most freaked out by the depression, but i dont want to start meds before my section when i just might be fine, and not need them. I am conviced that the only reason why i got it, and why it was SO bad was because of the preeclampsia, early baby, no privacy in the hospital or at home, and being just plain terrified in the hospital. But this time everything is going GREAT, and with my section being planned and everyone in their place...maybe be much better? Thanks so much!
