C section booked!

That's the day I'm getting induced 🥰

Could I ask for a C-section or is that something that the doctor has to recommend

usually women have the right to ask for a c-section. You can ask your OB. They will likely want to counsel you because the risk and recovery is higher and harder in women that are low risk.

I’m not sure! I didn’t get a lot of info for my first, I was pretty out of it. I’m sure you could ask your OB. I wanted badly to deliver normally at least in this second round, but my pelvis isn’t built for it! So my OB automatically put me to c section

How many months are you

6 months - she said we would schedule it after anatomy scan if all was coming up normal

I have the same situation but sadly had to change hospitals because the doctor kept insisting that things could be different with my second pregnancy.

Funny thing is that the doctor that did my emergency c section warned me to never have vaginal birth because my pelvic was too small.

My first delivery was absolutely traumatic and my daughter wasn’t breathing for the first 45 seconds. I couldn’t believe the lack of empathy from the doctors but now found a hospital that is all about the patients and their wishes.

I will be 6 months next week and I hope they do that for me

same! My daughter wasn’t breathing either! And they were worried she had lost function of her arm because her head and her right arm had been stuck for 6 hours! Thankfully everything was okay, but yeah my doctor said nope, skipping pushing so my recovery can be smoother, especially since I’m now having boy who is on track to be much bigger

have you set up with your OB? She told me they schedule after 20 weeks but as late as 38 weeks for first time moms

super scary but at least now you will know what to expect and the delivery will go much smoother than first time!

here’s to smooth c sections for the both of us! 😊 have you scheduled yours already?

amen! yes, mine is on june 24th at 7:00AM. I am worried about being hungry before the c section. 😆😆😆 That is the only thing that i’m fearing right now and the first 💩 after the surgery. TMI, I know! lol

HAHA yes the after party 😬 and yes same!! I’m like a 5am blood draw and they don’t start until 8am?? No food for 12 hours before?? I’m going to be a wreck! I told my fiancé he’s going to have to wheel me in still asleep!

hahaha dying! we will have time to get mentally ready for that! we got this. 🙌🙌🙌🙌

I was a little surprised she scheduled early but I was okay with it!

I know! Now it exists in my mind!! A due date is flexible, a lot of unknowns, but a c section date is like a solid appt to have a whole baby 😦 lol good and weird at the same time

I didn’t know you could schedule it so early-

you may want to ask about scheduling c section on your next prenatal appointment. I only got that scheduled because I told my doctor I need to get organized since we have a lot going on during that month.

my doctor told me the dates will fill up fast and since I have fairly uncomplicated pregnancies, she felt good about putting it on the surgeons calendar and hers, and making sure me and my family could prepare
