37 week c-section?

Question

Hello. I would like to know what was it like for some women to give birth at 37 weeks? how was the baby? were u feeling ok? any and everything people can share would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I was induced at 37 weeks due to low amniotic fluid. My induction did not progress well and so they did a c-section.

My son was perfectly fine and a healthy weight of 6 pounds 4 ounces. I personally did not like the c-section at all. The heavy anesthesia made me shaky and cold and it took 4 hours to wear off after my son was born. In that long 4 hours I was not able to see him or hold him because I was in "recovery."

Getting back to normal after the c-section was difficult, too, and took at least 6 weeks. It hurt to cough or sneeze or laugh and breastfeeding was uncomfortable if the baby was anywhere near my tender abdomen (where the incision was made).

The most important thing about your delivery is a healthy baby, but I have much preferred my vaginal deliveries and hope to never need surgery again.

Answer 2

I was induced at 36 weeks 5 days. I had preeclampsia and after two days of labor had an emergency c section. My son was ok. They did tell me the risks included: his sucking reflex not being fully developed and his lungs might not be either, causing him to be on a little oxygen. I think it was true about the sucking reflex because he had problems with that for awhile. He scored 8's and 9's on the APGAR, so he was good that way. He weighed 6 lb 8 oz so he was a good weight as well. I on the other hand, due to the preeclampsia had to be on magnesium sulfate during labor and for 24 hours after. It is a med that prevents you from having a seizure because of your blood pressure. It was like being on acid. NASTY. After that med was taken off, I felt pretty good. Sore, I had to hold a pillow over my stomach when I would stand up, but I was pretty good within a few days. Really only needed ibuprofen and the pain pills just if I overdid it during the day. Just accept all the help people offer you!
