I'm having my 4th C-section in 7 days and the Dr. always tells me its my choice. Since its a C-section doesn't matter if I'm dilated or not. I would think you wouldn't have to have one.
I had an appt less than a week before mine and the MA handed me one of those paper cover up things and I told her I didn't think it was necessary, when the dr came in he agreed and said he didn't need to do one. I think it's just routine, so just speak up if you don't want one.
Re: internal if csection is in 3 days??
