5 was the norm as far as I knew, I was got out of bed and had a shower the day after having my daughter, it was unbelievably painful to stand up straight because of the staples in the wound and because a mere 12 hours before someone had physically moved your internal organs to get to your womb! So as well as all that and the after effects of a spinal block and a night on morphine I wasn't feeling too chipper! Also had 2 drips and a catheter as well, by no means the "easy way out" as some folk think!.:rolleyes:

Which way are your scars girls? My first was a bikini one and the second was downwards. The bikini one was far more painful.

i had the spinal block too, i didnt have staples, i had one running stitch

with Marie (sis in law) they didnt even take her stitch out before she went home, they did with me....i thought the morphine drip was good, did the job and i was happy till they took it out :D

Mine is horizontal and goes up at the ends like a smile! The midwife I had was on her first shift at Blackburn having just moved from London and said to me that she had never seen a faster section, she only had one glove on when the consultant passed her the baby! I had a lovely anaesthetist called Alex Rose, he was brilliant, I would do the whole thing again to be honest!:D
BTW I was awake during the whole birth and wouldn't have been happy any other way, it was an amazing experience!

Linds.......I think that would have been Tony Rose........and you are right he is brilliant.
As a nurse running a pre-op clinic, I know that if I had any problems with patients, I could contact him and he would come and see the lady and give directions as to what he wanted for his patient.
He never bawled you out for contacting him, and though he was a consultant, he was the least 'consultoid' consultant I have ever met.


As far as the original query.......because dogs don't walk upright, they have less pain (the large abdominal muscles are essential for keeping us upright....and when they have been divided or cut, it hurts to be upright)........and also their operation site is usually on the flank.

I'd have another caesarean too, as you say, an amazing experience. I loved every second of mine.
I've done natural childbirth too and wouldn't do that again for anything.

My scar is horizontal, I've never been so bored as to sit and measure it but I believe it is 10cm.......the same as women doing it naturally dilate to.

Hang on......weren't we meant to be discussing dogs? LOL :D

Well just to confuse you all, Molly's is horizontal, well it is when shes on all fours, if she stood on her hind legs it would be vertical :D
