- Wonderful C-section Experience
It amazes me when I read about all of these women who say that a Cesarean section robbed them of the birth experience and that they don't feel like a real woman. Get over yourself! - Cesarean Delivery, Big Baby Boy
My husband Jonathan and I tried to conceive for about eight months when we finally became pregnant with our first child. He was on his way home from a long business trip. - Great Experience
I had a scheduled Cesarean Section a few days before my due date after my OB noticed I wasn't dilating. - Enjoyed C-Section
When I was five months pregnant, I asked my OB/GYN (who I think was really great -- she was available 24 hours a day via texting) on what to expect with Cesarean Section. - My New Year Miracle
On August 5, 2000 I was moving back home. I was living with the man I was
going to marry in October. - Breech Baby, C-Section

arrived at the hospital bright and early at 5:30 a.m. - My First Child

planned. My boyfriend and I went to the doctor's on July 11 and found out my
due date was March 7, my birthday. - It's a BIG Girl!
My husband and I found out we were going to have a baby when my morning
sickness kicked in. The very same day that I received a raise at work, my
husband took me out to dinner and I just about passed out in my plate of
pasta. - Cesarean Section with First Birth
I was told at eight months that I had to have a Cesarean Section, because my baby was breech. They planned it two weeks ahead. - Scheduled Cesarean Section, Breech Entire Pregnancy

facing the right way. He found that to be a strange question so early, but
checked anyway and was surprised when he found the baby was breech. - Breech Baby, Planned C-section
On December 31, 1989, New Year's Eve I had been out and about doing errands

God, I am a week late. - What a Big Boy!
I found out I was pregnant on February 27, 1999. My husband and I were so
excited, scared too with this being our first child. - Single Mom, Donor Insemination, C-section

I'm an athlete who ran marathons and swam across 9 miles of waters. I
thought that I was strong enough to deal with any pain. - Breech Baby and IUGR
