RCS Question

I just though tof this the other night.  This is my 2nd baby and I'm having a RCS.  My first ended up in a RCS after she decided she would rather live in my ribs then come and join the world outside.

 TIA!!

Sorry, obviously I posted my first response in the wrong thread! I'm getting ready for a RCS. My OB said she would check me around 36 weeks just to get an idea of where I am. She said after that it depends on how many contractions I'm having, but the inte
