"I have considered using a doula, but I may need another cesarean. Is it worth hiring a doula if I am going to have a c-section? What services would she provide if I did have a c-section?"
My son, Phelan was born by cesarean section after 36 hours of labor. He had his head in an odd position (called asynclitic), and we could not get him to turn so that he could be born the right way, so we had surgery. My husband took a roll of film in the operating room - it is not too graphic, and I hope that this gallery can help others who are interested in the procedure, or trying to heal from their own c-section birth.
if you have any questions or comments!
