I was recently diagnosed with Gastroenteritis(I had to go to the E.R yesterday due to lot's of stomach pain & blood in my stool, Sorry TMI) I'm still waiting for further test results to see if I have IBS or Crohn's Disease) I'm 33 weeks along. I read in a book that women with IBS or any other stomach disease/disorder may have to have C-Sections to give birth. Just wondering how many moms out there have one of these disorders and if you have had a C-Section because of this.
I have IBS and have had all 3 of my kids vaginally. The last and largest at 8lbs 12 oz was born at home with midwives. Not one of my OBs or midwives ever said anything about having a C-section because I had IBS.
Good luck!
My sister-in-law has Crohn's and she had to have a C-section. She nor her docs wanted the stress on her lower intestines that would naturally come with the pushing.
I have IBS-C and have had two vaginal deliveries in the past 2.5 years. The second was a piece of cake :)
I have IBS and I had both my kids naturally! Good luck!
I have chronic gastritis (been battling it or 10 years) along with iBS and acid reflux. I had both of my children naturally. Don't worry!
I have IBS and didn't need a c-section with either one of my kids, and our second one was a face-first delivery that often leads to a c-section. A plus to pregnancy was that my IBS would go away. It was nice to pack away the Immodium for nine months.
My sister has severe IBS and delivered 3 kids naturally. But, each pregnancy is different. Best of Luck!
I have IBS, and I have delivered two children naturally. Strangely enough, most of my symptoms disappeared during my first pregnancy and post-partum. Not so lucky the second time around though.
I have IBS and Only had to have a section due to an 'emergency'. I wouldnt Stress about it too much, Stress fuels IBS! My IBS completely disappeared for my entire pregnancy! it was wonderful LOL but of course it came back.
Either way it happens -You'll be holding your Angel :-)
