Should I have another child even tho I almost died having the last child?

Question

Having my second child I had to have a c-section and afterwards my bloodpressure went out of control and my body had a hard time getting better. I had to stay in the hospital over a week after I had him. I am told that every child birth is different should I try for one more still?

Answer 1

You really need to ask your doctor to refer you to a consultant obstetrician to answer this question - hopefully your blood pressure was just an unlucky event last time and a planned c-section or normal birth will be possible next time.
I had a horrific emergency section with my first child - we both could have died (but were thankfully OK) - and I had a wonderful planned c-section the second time around with no problems. I was referred to a consultant obstetrician the second time around for counseling and she put my fears at rest.
Good luck!

Answer 2

every pregnancy and child birth is different. What does your doctor have to say about this...??
I would discuss this all with your doctor. Their might be some precautions they can do for you to help you have a better birthing experience. You might be considered high risk a second time around.

Good luck in whatever you decide.

Answer 3

Maybe you can find an understanding doctor.

And wasn't he worth it? If you really want a child have one as long as all the docs and nurses are aware of you last birth you shouldn't have a prob. Ask your midwife if she has any words of wisdom.

Answer 10

THIS IS A PERSONAL CHOICE, THAT I THINK YOU SHOULD BE DISCUSSING WITH YOUR HUSBAND AND YOUR DOCTOR.
YOUR ABSOLUTLY RIGHT THOUGH, EACH PREGNANCY IS VERY DIFFERENT, BUT LOOK AT IT THIS WAY, YOU HAVE 2 (IM ASSUMING HEALTHY) CHILDREN, WHO NEED THEIR MOTHER, WHAT IF SOMETHING DID HAPPEN TO YOU, BECAUSE YOU WANTED ANOTHER CHILD, HOW DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD FEEL?
I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST, AND IF YOU DO DECIDE TO HAVE ANOTHER, THEN I WISH YOU ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD
