Re: C-section or vaginal delivery?

  • I had a myomectomy to remove fibroids so I don't get a choice, I'm required to have a csection.

  • I have a neurological condition tht can be made irreversibly worse by vaginal delivery. (I didn't know I had it when I had my son, and I caused myself damage, sadly). I also had severe complications and hemmoraging with my son, so csection it is.
  • I'm not sure yet. Ill find out in a few weeks at my ultrasound if my placenta has moved or not. If it moved we'll schedule an induction a week before my due date.
  • I can develop fistulas during a vaginal delivery as I'm prone to them from my Crohn's disease, thus a required c-section.

  • Lots of us are having c-sections. I also had a myomectomy to removed fibroids and had a c-section with DD. So, it's a RCS for me too!

    Yes. Nasal. Get with the times.

  • I guess technically I'm a SS because we discovered that I have an 8cm calcified cyst that will require removal of my left ovary and makes c-section mandatory, but we found the cyst after I'd already decided on RCS. My vagina and I have never desired a VBAC.

  • I am a special snowflake. I apparently have a very small pelvis, so if I go full term this time, if the baby is over 6 lbs, I'll probably need to do a c/s. DS was 4lbs.6oz. and it took 45 min. and a small tear to get him out.

    OB is going to let me try to deliver vaginally, but I need to be prepared for a c/s.
