Re: C-section Question for Mom with 1+ kids
I just had a baby recently, and ended up with a c-section.... when I went back for my 6 week check my OB said that if I were to have another baby she would only do a c-section, no VBAC. So I know if I stay with her that will be my only option... which is fine. I use Dr Levin, who is at Memorial Hermann Memorial City location.
I don't know anything about insurance though, but Id presume that if that is what the doctor says is the safe way to go that they'd cover it.... I hope anyway
Your doctor will make a recommendation based on your situation. If it is medically necessary, then I'm sure that it will be covered.
In many cases, it depends on the doctor's best medical opinion about what is necessary. Many doctors feel that a repeat c-section is the better medical option. Some will consider V-BAC in certain circumstances; others will not.
Your doctor knows where he or she falls in all of this medical necessity reasoning.
Ditto to all of the above. Not many will do VBACs, let alone "force" them on you. Just an FYI, due to changes in Medicaid (and therefore all other insurance companies as well), you cannot be electively induced or be given a repeat cesarean (also considered an elective procedure) any earlier than 39 weeks. Only medical reasons (pregnancy induced hypertension, complicated twin gestations, gestational diabetes, etc.) will be a reason to do either any earlier than 39 weeks.
Good luck!
There's a lot more than that.
