My duaghter is 6, and is the only girl to 3 brothers (at the time). My husband and I decided 2 years ago to try and have another girl because our daughter wanted a sister and we wanted another girl as well. I got pregnant about 14 months ago and we have since had a baby boy. My daughter is upset and wants us to try one more time.
I ended up having an emergency c-section because the doctor accidentally broke my water (trying to check the position of the baby). The babies hand came out along with his cord. The cord was wedged between his head and birth canal. After the c-section, my incision didn't heal completely and it ended up infected. They had to cut part of it open and drain it, and I spent the next 7 weeks putting gauze in the hole until it healed.
It scared the hell out of me. (I have never had a c-section before), and it was a bad outcome for me. (The baby is fine and getting big).
How do I explain to her that my body can't handle carrying babies anymore?
