Grade 4 Tear Into Rectum
Posted: 12-18-03 20:02pm

My doctor recently informed me that it would be recommended to have a c-section due to the grade 4 tear I suffered during my first labor. Has anyone opted not to have a c-section based on this new information. Can anybody give me information on their own experience, if you chose not to do on, or to do one? Thank you.

C Section And Rectum Tear
Posted: 12-18-03 21:04pm

Dear dee,
were you aware of the rectum tear due to symptoms or did the docter inform you? Having been thru surgery for a recto vaginal fistula due to a tear I strongly recommend you listen to your docter and have a csection. I had two babies vaginally and my husband and I plan to have a third child -- no way will I deliver vaginally again after my surgery!! As my docter put it referring to his intership in brazil "the rich always have csections while those who cannot afford it go vaginal". Vaginal deliveries can cause tears resulting in surgery to repair. I suggest you research articles on rectal tears (possibly recto-vaginal fistula). Not many women are aware of this or refrain from talking about it because of embaressment. It is a horrible experiance. Sincerely, martha

C-section
Posted: 12-18-03 22:11pm

I heard from 2 of my friends that when you have a c-sections they cut you open and lay your insides on your stomach so they can get to your uterus Rolling Eyes I dont have any children but.... I would much rather have a vaginal birth before a c-section the whole taking my inside out just dosnt sit right with me and I watched my sister give birth to my nephew that wasnt so pretty either I guess after seeing all that mess Shocked I appreciate my mother more Mr.

Honey they dont take your insides out and lay it on your stomach! They simply make a cut into the lower abdomen (near the bkini line) and get into the uterus and make a slice in the amniotic sac and extract the baby. They have to take the placenta out but otherwise there are no stomach, intestines or anything taken out! Those are might higer then the baby! Go to a birthing website and watch a c-section. You will see it's not so bad. Also you cannot see whats going on because the put a sheet in front of your head
