I have a secret....

I really, REALLY want another baby! Dh and I both were talking about babies a lot and jokingly I said "Hey lets have another baby!" to my suprise Dh said OKAY!
He said he has been thinking about it, and has been wanting to try again. I do to but... I have already had two c-sections and the thought of another one is pretty scarey to me. I am not sure why I am scared, both c-sections turned out great, I even did not need any pain medication afterwards. I recovered very quickly, so I am not sure why I am so afraid. Has anyone here had more than one c-section? Or does anyone know someone who did or any recourses about it?
Thanks

I have had three c-sections. Kaelyn was a c-section due to 36 hours of induced labor which I only dilated to 5 and she wasn't going to fit anyway. She only weighed 7lbs5oz. She lost 1/2" in her birth length after her head rounded out from the conehead she had from trying to squeeze in there but wasn't going to fit!
Kyle was going to be a VBAC but he grew and the sonogram's were showing him to be about 8 lbs and we didn't want to chance labor again if I was going to end up w/a c-section anyway so we scheduled the section. Kyle weighed in at 8lbs4oz.
Jacob was a scheduled section from the get go. He weighed 9lbs10oz!!!
I recovered much quicker in my 2nd and 3rd sections. Getting back into physical condition after my 3rd one though is taking a bit longer. Jacob will be 2 November 30 and I am just able to do any sort of aerobics or floor exercises without feeling like I was run over by a truck the next day. But everyone is different!!
I say go for it if you both want another child. It's so exciting!

I was really curious about something you said...

Nick is fixing to turn 3 and I am just now feeling like I can really start to exercise! I swear I can still not feel it when I do sit ups. No one told me about this so I thought it was just me. I recovered and was able to get around really quickly after I had Nick but just could not seem to get into shape no matter what I did! It makes me feel a little more encouraged after you post. I have decided that before we try I am going to take maybe 3 to

Good luck with your yoga - it's good to be in as best shape as possible when starting a pregnancy.
I sometimes feel we are good right now, but I miss it.
I hope that you choose what is best for you all.
Good luck in your descion.
