Choice C-section

I just wanted to let you know that I am
having a choice c-section.
1) because I just had one 1.5 years ago
and my dr told me that I might be better
off
2) cause my mom is coming from out of town
and we will need a time for her to take
off of work....(school teacher)
they have scedualed it 2 weeks before my
due date. They told me that any earlier
would be pushing it. I wanted to do it
on my due date but they said that because
I am so small that the baby may be too big
by the time of my due date.
I am kinda torn about having my baby vag
but I am worried about it. Has anyone
done c-sect and then delivered vag?

Vag Birth After C-section

I have never had a c-section but my best
friend just delivered her 2nd baby
vaginally 3 weeks ago- her first was
c-section due to her having placenta
prevera
they told her it was her choice which way
she wanted to go. The only thing was that
she could'nt have an epidural, because
they needed her to constantly mionitor the
pressure on her scar- so that she could
tell them if she thought it was starting
to tear. She is delighted with her
decision, she says the recovery is just
sooo much better this time- and she
doesn't know how she could have managed
the recovery from a c-section, considering
she has the older child to care for, drop
off to childcare etc.
You will also have to keep in mind that
although it is your second baby- it will
be your first labour, so it may last a
good bit longer than a normal second baby
birth- but you never can tell how long it
will take to deliver a baby anyway.
My cousin had an emergency c-section with
her first, and then went on to deliver her
next 25 babuees vaginally- and she's
dead-set on having another, so it can be
done !!!!
My mum is a school teacher too- luckily, I
went into labour on a friday evening-
how's that for convienience !!!!!
Just do whatever you feel more comfortable
with- but don't do anything just because
you feel pressured to.
It's your baby, and your body.
Best of luck, whatever you choose.

I was talking to my sister-in-law and she
told me that she ruptured after having an
e-c-section. They told her that it was
because of having her 2nd child so close
to her last one (13 months.)
i still have a while to go....Long time to
decide.

I would never have a choice c section...
Doctors now adays are so quick to do c
sections because it's easier for them and
they get paid more to do it. C sections
started for emergency births and should be
kept that way. Thats the only way I will
let someone cut me open if me or my child
is at risk.

I think having a choice c-section is fine.
It is your body and you should choose how
you want to bring your baby into this
world. That is what I would prefer. I
have heard of many women having successful
vbacs though...

I have a long time to make a decision, but
I am already high risk to begin with and I
have just thought that a c-section would
put my mind at ease just to know my skoot
will be coming out without me having to
worry that something is wrong with
him/her. I don't want to go into the
delivery room and then have everyone
running around scaring the caca out of me
because something is wrong with my little
skoot.

Do what you think is best sunflower
in your case if ur high risk I would say
c-section but if you want it vag(vbac then
do it) its a wonderful expierence if your
worried get an epidural that way if you
need an emergency section all they need to
do is prep you. I had my daughter vag
and I loved it, I was told I would need a
section for this one and was dissapointed
cause I heard the healing process takes
longer anyways dr said I could go vag
unless something comes up life threatening
with me or bubs!!!
Ob gyn said a c-section is rarely needed
(95%) of the time but he said that they
believe in giving more choice to the mom
nowadays but he said that a lot of drs
recommend because they thinks its easier
and some dont care for the mothers true
wellbeing.......
Get a second opinion if you have to its ur
choice!!

Well we did a us today and I am actually
measuring 12 weeks and 4 days. Yay!!!!!
2 weeks and 2 days ahead of time
i talked to my dr and she stated that it's
at this point....Upto me unless I get sick
and then she told me that she would have
to make the decision. So that set my
mind at ease a little.
We shall see.....Like I said before I have
a while...Minus 2 weeks yay
