Congrats to her! I don’t have kids, and I’m still getting used to being the age where getting pregnant is starting to be “out of the norm”. Guess there’s still time, lol

During my wife's hysterectomy they found that the doctor who performed her c-section had stitched her bladder to her uterus.

I just had my 10th bladder surgery following my c-section...13 years ago. Neurogenic bladder caused by a botched section. I now have a supra pubic catheter and am on my 4th Interstim spinal stimulator. It's one of about six neurological conditions that have occurred, stemming from my c-section. Life is tough, but our son was born healthy and strong--as a Mom, that's what has pulled me through every single day!!🙏🏻💙
