This will be my 5thsection, first birth couldn't dilate tried a vbac on second but same thing happened so ended up with multiple sections, I'm in Nov group dd1st Nov but my bub will be born last wk of October 12w3d

My dr won't do a vbac but said if I wanted one he would send me to Boston to deliver. I did research and chose to have another csection, as long as my baby comes out healthy I don't care how I deliver!!

My dr doesn't do vbacs so this will be my third c section, my first one was because baby was breeched and she never dropped or turned into the position for me to give birth naturally.

It saddens me to see all these women being told they can not deliver vaginally, especially at such an early stage of pregnancy. Even with all the research out there stating over and over again the endless benefits for mother and baby, doctors still tell women they can't do it, or that they won't. It's absurd. How in the world did we have babies prior to an operating room and the convenience of scheduling? I wish more women would do some research themselves and listen to their own bodies before blindly following the godly word of the OB.

Yes I know there are some women who do actually medically require a cesarean. That number of women is no where near the amount actually having them.

Mine will most likely be on Oct 15th. My dr only does surgery on thursdays. My daughter was born csection because my pelvis is /\ instead of \/. At least that's how it was explained to me lol. I had preeclampsia with my daughter and she was born at 36w6d. Long story short I had no choice, and I'm perfectly ok with it. I had a great recovery and hope for the same with this one.

I had a c-section with my last, but with this one we are planning a v-back. It depends on your doctor if they do v-backs, and also your body. I have had two babies vaginally already, and one c-section. So the doctor knows my body can have a baby vaginally. I only had a c-section because my son's feet were wrapped up in his umbilical cord and was stuck inside me. So hopefully we will be successful with a v-back.

I'm having another as well. Diagnosed with CPD. my first section was a breeze although I wish I could've done vaginal

My dr went ahead and scheduled mine because he only does surgery one day a week. Since I am due October 18th he scheduled me for October 13th. Because they do them a week before your due date and he only does surgery on Tuesdays lol

I had three egg sized fibroids removed from my uterus this past summer. I was told then that if I get my miracle baby, it will have to be delivered by C section. So, I know that somewhere between the 12 and 16, pending no complications and need to come earlier, I will be having baby boy by C section!

Good to know PP, honestly I was always told that by my step mom and friends who've had them. They probably just didn't have the option! I always wondered why it sounded weird to me haha.

I went through the whole labour last time and then my son got stuck so I had to have a section. Turns out I have a round pelvis (should be oval) so baby gets stuck and can't turn properly. Scheduled c section 10 days before due date for me!

I'm going to try for a VBAC but am also considering another csection only because an emerg csection is extremely traumatizing and scary. I don't want to have to go through labour just to end up with a csection again. I change my mind daily so only time will tell ?

As of right now my doctor wants to schedule my c section at 39 weeks. I never progressed past 3cm and was in labor for almost a day. My water wouldn't break and he was not coming down! I asked about a vbac and they told me that because my reasoning for a c section was "failure to dilate" that they suggested a repeat c section. I don't think my office is very pro vbac, although it would be nice to try!

I have mine set for 39 weeks because I had one with my first after I pushed for two hours and labor for 17 lol. My tailbone points really inward so unless the baby was super small or they broke my tailbone there is not getting by it. I also hemorrhaged really bad so I was lucky I ended up with a c section so they could control the bleeding.

You don't have to let anyone do anything to your body that you don't want to be done. No one can make you hop on an OR table and they cut you wide open. No one can make you vaginally push a baby out if you don't want too. Your body is your body! If you for some medical reason cannot push a baby out then a c section is best but if nothing is stopping you after having a csection or not push your baby out. So many doctors want to take the easy way out and cut women open because it's quick and convenient for them. That makes me sick to my stomach to see some women be so willingly to go along with whatever a doctor says when it's not medically necessary.
