Teen C-sections

Published

does it seem that a lot of teen agers have to have c-sections. i work on pp and was wondering if someone on l and d could enlighten me. someone said that they just don't want to push. is that true. some thoughts i had were that it is probably a combination of factors.....what do you think.

I don't see where I blew up on anyone. I said Please don't look at teen in that way. I wish you or someone else would tell me where I messed up. I am not trying to keep this going on. It seems that people on this site often tell me that I am saying things in the wrong way. I am just trying to understand and correct myself.

I am taking care of my babies. I love them. My son started going POTTY today!!!!!!I am so HAPPY!!!!

I was 15 with my oldest. I must say the nurses that cared for me way back then were awsome. I had a c-section DT FTP and spike in BP. I know my body wasnt ready and although it has been many years I know I was not emotionally ready. Didnt have alot of family support either but the nurses I encountered made a HUGE difference in my life. They were respectful, supportive and informitive. Two experiences in particular helped to influence my career choice much later in life. Exactly one day PP it all hit me and I was hit with a major bout of depression (fear) I remember this one nurse sat with me for quite sometime, she held me and comforted me till I had calmed some then she took my face in her hands and said "Honey you are young and I know it is scarey but you are a good girl and I know you can beat the odds. You can be a good mom and a good person. The choice is yours." She then told me to dry my tears and get busy about life. She was tender and caring yet firm. She helped me believe in me. She also hooked me up with an early intervention program. The program sent a nurse to our house to spend time with me and the baby. She taught me how to play with him and do excersise with him to stimulate him. She talked to me alot and made me feel good about what I was doing right and helped me figure out the things I wasnt. She also talked to my husband who was only 19 at the time about PP depression and ways he could help me with the babies care. She was a god send to all of us. Ninteen yrs later I still remember these nurses and the influence they had on me. THANK GOD FOR NURSES!!!

Wonderful story, Angelbear. Made me get all vaclempt!

Thanks for sharing it!:D

It does get tiresome when people read threads that may be about a subject that hits a nerve with them, and they respond very defensively, as if the post was written specifically to critisize them and all they stand for. They take a general post very personally and start defending themselves against nothing, and start imagining critisisms that were never made.

This happens over and over again.

Don't ya'll get tired of this?

Then ignore it. I am sure if we checked everything that you have posted you have done the same thing. I said I just wanting to add that because I had never seen a thread on it and thought while teens was being brought up I would say something. Sorry but I must have hit a nerve with you to post what you did. I am new here and have not been here that long. Ever checked to see how long someone has been a member? If so then maybe you would understand that we are getting used to this site and learning what to post and what not to post. I feel I have a freedom of speech and I can post what I want to on this site. Dont like it then ignore me.
