I want to vaginally deliver my son, but what are the reasons why I would have an emergency…

Mother or baby in distress of you can’t pass baby through birth canal after about an hour of trying

Failure to progress, failure to decend, fetal distress, blood pressure spike/drop. I pushed for 3 hours and the jerk was still crooked so csection was best for us 😂😂

I had one after three hours of trying to push. I kept asking for a little more time to try. He got stuck and wasn't budging no matter how hard I pushed.

Yes, either of you in distress, some complication like preeclampsia or low/high fluid, early labor where vaginal would be ill-advised due to the baby's gestational age

@worlds.okayest.mom, me too!!! He wasn't crooked though, just had a big head.

Fetal distress, prolong labor, placenta previa, prolapse of the cord, placenta obstruction, cpd,

@nomli I almost punched the doctor for letting me try for that long 😂😂😂. He would continuous check me then eventually went "yeah, he's still in your hip so...."

@kayayon @nomli @worlds.okayest.mom @mimimommyof2 Thank you! I have less than 8 weeks left until my due date and I'm am getting anxious/nervous about labor!

@worlds.okayest.mom, I wish I would've listened to him and just gone for the c-section at the two hour mark. I was exhausted beyond belief.

@sylvia_biddle, you're welcome! Most labors go well, and don't need a c-section! My aunt pushed for 15 minutes and bam, baby, and she was even high risk!

@nomli I had to go in with my "holier than thou" first time mom attitude and tell them that unless I'm dying, that under no circumstances are they to even mention a csection. At least they listened 🤷‍♀️

I had a vertical emergency c-section because me and my son's oxygen was dropping ... That epidural I reacted wrong to it.

I had to vaginal births and my 3rd was emergency csection. Baby’s heart rate dropped and they decided that was best. He was perfectly fine tho. Good luck!
