C-section? what ya think?
If you are 38 weeks and no trouble, any time. Maybe he will be nice and do one in the next week. I am sure you can't wait.
Reply:Good luck! I am hoping your doc will be nice and do it the day after your appointment! Good luck, Congratulations and let us know!!!!
Reply:If the C-Section is not for a medical reason such as pre-eclampsia or toxcimia or if the baby is already WAY TOO BIG, I would say don't do it. C-sections are major surguries and have the potential for many complications. Also, babies born via c-section are more prone to respiratory distress because the fluid is not squeezed out of their lungs while coming through the birth canal. I would say just do it naturally (vaginal) and get an epidural, you have to have an epidural to have a c-section anyway and it is less dangerous. Women have vaginas and not holes in their abdomens for a reason.


P.S. What is your question if you already know you have to have one? Do you want us to guess when you are going to be scheduled? WTF?


P.P.S. I sound like the most educated person on this page and when you have a masters as a certified nurse-midwife you can tell me I am giving unwanted advice
Reply:my doc told me they always pull the baby one week early so when you are at 39 weeks but he said they do one last ultrasound just to make sure everything is developed correctly.
Reply:I had mine scheduled for what the doctor said was 38 weeks. I'd say they'll schedule it within the next 2 weeks. At least then you have time to get ready.
Reply:When i was pregnant i hoped to have a c-section (i was 21 pregnant with my one and only child so far).





I couldn't imagine having a baby out of my vagina. Well i did get my wish. I had to have a c-section though anyhow cause my son was breech and i had pre-eclampsia and went into labor early.





I was 36 weeks when i had my baby. They wanted to give me an epidural but i did not want to be awake knowing i was being cut open so they put me asleep (i was fine with that cause i have had other surgerys before).





Yes the pain was awful and took me about 2 weeks to get around real good. At first I could barely get out of the hospital bed even though i was on strong painkillers (didn't help much) but if you do get up and just walk just for a bit you will work that soreness out of you.





I got out of the hospital 3 days later and so did my son (he weighed 4lbs 15.6oz and was 17 inches long) and when i got home all i felt like doing is sleep.





I had help so i slept as long as i could. I would be up and down with the baby and finally after 2 weeks the pain was gone. I took my painpills that they gave me when i got out. So take what they give you.





I bleed for six weeks afterwards. If i had a choice whether to have a baby naturally or by c-section....The c-section would win....








It takes a womans body a whole year to completely recover from a c-section so rest your body..





Good Luck....
Reply:I had 2 c-sections. One emergency, the 2nd planned. The Dr. will do a planned c 1 week early unless you have other problems such as pre-eclampsia, etc. Good luck, The 1st few days will be the hardest, then it gets much easier. Your baby will be worth it!
Reply:Why are people telling you you not to get a c-section,I thought the question was when you you think your doctor will give you the c-section..Gosh some people give some unwanted advice..Anyway back to it, your doctor may let you decide(within reason) or maybe he will tell you in a couple of days..It could be anything really..My friend went to her doctor and found she was dilated so her doc scheduled her to come back in 2 days and they were going to induce her, but she ended up having to have a c-section, so I guess it can range from anywhere...Goodluck and Let us know how it all went..It'll be interesting :)


p.s slodkie-shut the hell up..you dont know what they hell you are talking about..people likee you are so damn annoying
Reply:Get the extra stitch.
Reply:At 38 weeks it is safe to deliver.He might let you choose the date.
Reply:no one is asking how u came to be. go away!! far away!!
Reply:I think the doctor will schedule it for next week Tuesday. C-Sections are great! Who wants to lay there for hours on end in agonizing pain when you can get it all done in a matter of minutes! Good Luck!
Reply:Go for it. Sounds like fun, what the heck, ask them to throw a triple bypass.
