Hi and thanks so much for using this forum.
I am sure you are a very happy expectant mother......Congrats in advance and sure you gonna make a great mom.
Planned cesarean section is a very safe procedure. But as it goes, no surgery can be taken lightly.
Your a just a carrier and not somebody withh the disease. Women are spared genetically from this and never present with bleeding complications as a result.
The fact that you had an earlier C/S and never suffered any bleeding complications means you are doing pretty good.
It is another surgery. Prepare yourself mentally, eat well and plan well ahead on time. Please, also get a caring and loving person to be there and help you with the baby in the immediate days after the procedure.
All will be safe. Wish you a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
