If you had a planned C-Section

Were you able to choose which dr you wanted to perform it? Thanks!

Yeah my ob. But I'm nt really sure who else would have done it. Not some random doc.

Kristina052707 · September 2011

Well there are about 8-9 other ob's within the practice. I normally see one physicians but have to see one of the others if he is not in, so I was just wondering.

Yes. My ob that I see regularly is scheduled to do it. However, if for some reason I go into labor on my own before that date comes, I will get whichever doctor is the one on call from the practice I go to.

Yes. Although he didn't end up delivering my LO! My water broke at 39 weeks, 2 days...4 days before my scheduled c-section so I got the OB that was on call that night. Luckily she was AWESOME. GL!

We scheduled it for my OB to do it. I can't see why they would schedule it when your normal OB couldn't do it.

I had been on hospital bedrest for weeks, so I could chose any of the 3 docs in my practice that I wanted. I didn't care, it was late on December 23rd so I went with whoever was handy since I loved them all.

One benefit to bedrest, I got to pick my entire nursing staff to be there with me too!

My ob performed them. If I had gone into labor the week before with Lucas, it would have been the on call dr

Nope. But I had complete placenta previa and they wanted the baby out right at 37 weeks. I got the OB that was scheduled for that day. Period.

I was able to plan my c/s around when the doctor I wanted was open.

I'd certainly hope that if you plan on having a c/s that you make sure to schedule it through your OB and that they are smart enough to do it while they are scheduled to work.

Interesting.
I had CPP as well, but I was able to do it on a day with my OB. I was delievered at 36.5w

Only insofar as picking the day I wanted it on. They rotate at the hospital.

The OB I was seeing for each of my sons was the one that scheduled my c-section. I didn't have a problem or any issues with that. There are 4 doctors in the practice I go to.
