No, the overhang doesn't get worse w/ #2 but I agree w/ Leslie...the feeling below the navel no longer exists.

As for VBAC...talk to your dr re: risks. I personally chose not to do VBAC.

Great, congrats. What's the MTHRFKR outlook? Do you automatically have to worry about it again?

Of course just MO.

No, my c/s "overhang" did not get worse with the second one. It stayed the same. Good luck with whatever you decide, both are valid choices.

well,

MY doc cut a whole bunch of "scar tissue" we called it, so i had a bit of a "tuck"

i was stoked...to say the least.

i loved knowing what was going to happen, no doubt, i was going to have a c-sec, i knew i would have no labour, and it all came to pass, albet a month early...

Regarding repeat C-sections, I'm not sure whether the belly overhang got worse (because I've never gotten thin enough since to tell!) but I have lost almost all feeling in my stomach below my navel, due to the nerves being cut through so many times. If there's a bright side to this, it's that I experienced very little pain after the third section!

Go for a VBAC! I will cheer you on.

A giant hug and a truckful of hope coming your way.
