I posted this over on High Risk, but I also know this isn't always
considered high risk, depending on severity, but I'd appreciate any
info. . . If one of your LOs had shoulder dystocia, were you advised by
your provider to have a c-section with subsequent children? I have an
appointment to discuss with my physician, obviously, but I'd love some
input in advance. DD had mild dystocia. Thank you! PS. Not sure what's up with the 'bold' font. Sorry.

Re: XP: Shoulder Dystocia question (re: baby 2 delivery)
I'm an L&D nurse, but I'm sure answers will vary...
Some physicians will recommend an elective c/s if your baby is measuring big, over 9 lbs, some don't. It also depends how big your baby was. Some people have a shoulder with a 7 lb baby and others don't have one with a 9 lb baby. I don't necessarily think they will advise you to have a c/s since it was a mild shoulder...
