repair scar

Hi, i have just had my second c/s, and was suprised(probably quite nievely)that there was alot of scar tissue from my previous c/s. This meant the operation took alot longer to do and my spinal started to wear off prematurely.  Not something i would want to do again. The anethitist offered me a general, but i wanted to be awake so i put up with it and declined.

Much better to get indepth advice from the Dr who has been inside and done the work than getting generalist advice from the ‘net.

I am curious too as I was told at my 2nd CS that I had a lot of scar tissue, but could still try for a 3rd baby & 3rd CS (just slightly more risks of adhesions attaching, something like that – I was still fairly out of it when I was asking.

I do remember though him saying that he ‘cut out’ most of the scar tissue, so I am guessing it depends on how much developed after my 2nd CS.

I was a public hospital and the OB doing the CS spoke about 2 sentences to me and only because I asked those questions, so I don’t have that avenue of finding out from him.

Good Luck !

Hi Danilelle, yes thats the problem i have too, as i was in a public hospital and didnt even think to ask the surgeon at the time, but its interesting to know that they can cut out some of the previous scar tissue. I guess in the public system the best you can do is to ask to see your records/paperwork of info from the actual birth.
