c-section question

If you are scheduled for a c-section do they induce you before hand? Or can they just pull the baby when they schedule it.

Idani:

They do not induce you.  A C-section is surgery to remove your child. 

 

This...I'm pretty confused about your original question...are you scheduled for a c-section?

Why would they induce labor for a c-section? Labor inductions are for vaginal deliveries. Scheduled c-sections are for surgical deliveries.

Inducing would move LO down in the birth canal, making the c-section much more difficult and dangerous. That's why most scheduled c-sections are scheduled for before the baby's due date, so that they aren't so far progressed that it makes the surgery difficult.

This. RCS are usually scheduled a week early, just to ensure that you don't go into labor.

Thanks sorry just have been reading about inductions and csections and was just wondering. That's what I thought but was curious.
