Your Questions About Natural Pregnancy Book

Joseph asks…

What happens during a c section for twins?

Ok so I’m due to have my twins around 11th July and I’ve got millions of questions. I know the best thing would be to ask my midwife but seen as though I’m not particularly fond of her or doubt I could hold her interest long enough to get answers thought I’d try to tap into past experiences of others.

1. Do they break your waters before taking you into theatre or will that be dealt with once they’re in?

2. Will they take the placenta out or will I be expected to deliver this?

3. I hear epidurals pretty much numb out most of the pain but what will I be able to feel?

4. Will I be able to breast feed the twins straight away as I would with a natural single delivery?

Some of these questions might seem simple but I just like to know. Was really lucky with first pregnancy as the delivery was text book and I’m gearing myself up for torture cos I know it won’t be the same (although still hoping it’s as easy as the first time and won’t actually need a section)

The twins are still moving far too much at 30 weeks to say if gonna need a section, but figure best be prepared 🙂

Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

Ive had 3 c-sections and This August will be my 4th… They will take the placenta out during your surgery, and break your water aswell..
The epidural looks painful and intimidating but doesn’t hurt a bit! And you will feel nothing from under your breast down.. You will feel the touch of the doctors and nurses during your c-section, and the pull of your skin.. But there is no pain at all.. You will be able to breast feed your baby right after wards, same as if you delivered vaginally.. Congradulations and Good luck!

Mary asks…

Will I still be able to do this naturally if baby doesnt come early!!??

I am about to be 38 weeks on Tuesday, and my baby is already measuring over 8 lbs. I have been very headstrong this whole pregnancy about wanting to have a natural waterbirth, and the closer it gets and the more miserable I become, I am freaking myself out about it and thinking that if he waits two more weeks, he will be too big for me to do it naturally. I know the worst thing I can do is stress over it, and Ive tried every old wives tale in the book to make him come early (yea right lol). Is there anything else I can do to make having a natural birth still a possibility or hurry things along!?

Michelle answers:

He will come when he is ready or when your body is ready. Don’t stress about it. My 1st pregnancy was 9lbs 9.5 ozs and my 2nd was 10 lbs 11.5 ozs. You will be able to do it!

Good luck and Best wishes!

Donna asks…

How can I prepare for breastfeeding ahead of time?

I’m planning on trying to get pregnant within the next two years sometime, I’m already on a prenatal and taking metformin for my pcos. At heart I am a compulsive researcher and I’ve read every book out there that I can get my hands on about conception, pregnancy, labor and delivery, and breastfeeding. My library has four books on breastfeeding and I finished them all. I’ve also talked to a group of woman who have breastfed, and I watched them do so, as well as videos too. Now I’d like to know how else can I prepare? I’d like a natural delivery but breastfeeding my kids is a billion times more important to me than even that. I just knw i hear its very difficult. Any advice?

Michelle answers:

Forget that it’s difficult, it’s not, it’s very easy as long as you nurse as soon as possible and often.

It takes just as much time and trouble as bottle feeding, but it’s always available and doesn’t require equipment or refrigeration either, what could be simpler?

Sandra asks…

A few c-section questions?

If your small and very tone, you had a natural birth before then lost the baby weight in 4 days like the nurses told me if they weren’t there they wouldn’t beleive i was my daughters mom i was tone and tiny and this was her 5 day check up. I went from a size 3 to a 0 and im like 4’11” super petite. Then on my second (hypothetically) i get a c-section just curious not worried, what are my chances of having a cecarian gut and how hard are they to loose? Im pregnant again just 7wks but im reading more about pregnancy this time around and i’m curious to know things, im not worried i will have a c-section as my first was natural but im wanting to know real live answers not text book ones just for my own knowledge. Thanks alot in advance.

Michelle answers:

Well first off your very lucky to get back into shape so fast. I have only had c section never a natural birth but it has taken me time to get back into shape and the lower part of my stomach does not seem to want to get tight anymore but i think that everyone is a little different and even with a c section because you where so easily back in shape with natural birth if you where to have a c section it would probably be that same way for you.
