I've been paranoid for a while now. True, I'm not due until sometime between Oct 21 and 29 (the kid keeps growing and shrinking) but I can't help but ponder.
I had a cesarean with my first due to complications during delivery. Now, according to my doctor everything is fine and dandy, everything is healed well, and everything is in its rightful place. Now, since I couldn't have a natural delivery with the Lily like I had hoped, I wanted to try again with Iris. I asked my doctor if he had any concerns with me having a VBAC and he said no. However, I am fully aware that .7% of women have encountered uterine rupture during.
So far, during this pregnancy, my body has been fully aware that it has been cut open before. Intercourse in uncomfortable, and sometimes downright painful. Picking up my toddler has resulted in tugs and strains around and behind my scar. Doing simple things such as sneezing causes it to feel like it did when the sutures were still in place; a gooey, my-insides-are-coming-out-of-my-body feeling.
I'm probably just being paranoid. I'm good at that. But I can't help but worry when I keep feeling this discomfort around and behind my scar.
