Question about planned c-section
I am faced with a dilemma. Do I do a repeat c-section with the second child
or VBAC. C-section for first birth due to breech baby after labor and contractions started, no pushing - 6 cm dialted then nurse felt feet, then c-section. My question is....how does the body know the baby is out and breasts ready to produce milk? I am wondering this because the baby is not ready to come out just yet as labor had not started. Thanks in advance |

It signals the hormones to start the breast milk making process. I could be wrong though. -- Daye Momma to Jayan "Boy" EDD 11 Jan 2004 See Jayan: http://jayan.topcities.com/ |

Thanks in advance Go for a VBAC. Get the facts, don't be scared, and try it. I've had 3 c-sections. I used to be the Queen of C-sections here, till my 3rd. It was planned before I was even pregnant and it went wrong. If you have that 2nd one, you'll be locked into having c-sections. Yeah some Drs are okay with a VBAC after 2 c-sections, but it ends up being easier to just do what you know. Don't risk it. If you want more children, try the VBAC. I now can only have 4 children, and I got 3 Drs' opinions before deciding it was safe to TTC #4. Do you want to have to do that? You'll do what you want but I can't stress enough how much I wish I hadn't been a big chicken now and had tried a VBAC after my first c-section. As for the milk, with all 3 it came in on day 5. It will come in. |

C-section for first birth due to breech baby after labor and contractions started, no pushing - 6 cm dialted then nurse felt feet, then c-section. It's a personal choice. The primary concern with VBAC is the risk of uterine rupture, which is slightly increased when compared with the risk of uterine rupture in a woman who's had a previous vaginal birth. It is apparently, however, not higher than the risk of rupture in a first birth as long as you avoid induction or augmentation of labor. Your having labored before and the fact that your previous c-section wasn't for anything that would be likely to cause trouble again are definitely factors in your favor for a VBAC. Most studies show that upwards of 70 percent of VBAC attempts are successful, and your history makes your chances of success probably even higher. My question is....how does the body know the baby is out and breasts ready to produce milk? I believe it's the removal of the placenta. I am wondering this because the baby is not ready to come out just yet as labor had not started. Even if you choose a repeat c-section, you can always wait until labor has started to do it. That way you know that the baby is ready to come. Best wishes, Ericka |

My uterus was pretty thin when I had my last c-section. 3 Drs said it would be safe to have another just my scar will have to be monitored, and maybe an early c-section. As it is now I'm on Day 35. I'd just like to get AF so I can get on with month #2 |

Question about planned c-section
I thought you had it but it did not work? I was asking if it was likely that it wouldn't happen that way again. I think it was the fault of the anesthesiologist, not my reaction to the anesthetic. He was too interested in the surgery and not me. So *we'll* have to make sure it doesn't happen again. I will get started with an OB from the get-go and make sure *everyone* is aware of what happened last time. If we don't go to a civilian Dr instead. Oh I am confused! i thought you were already pregnant. Well not much longer I think ;o) Marie Nah, not yet. Wacky cycle plus Dylan's away - surprise - lol. |

I didn't realize that you were thinking this way. {{{{{{{{{Sophie}}}}}}}}}} Don't risk it. If you want more children, try the VBAC. This is my problem. I only want 2 children, and I planned to have tubal after I give birth to this child. If I was planning to have more, I would have the VBAC because I know that they don't like to do more than about 2-3 c-sections. My dilemma is this: do I go with what I know. I am not afraid of another c-section. I know what to expect. Or do I try a VBAC and possibly fail and have to have a c-section anyway? I am afraid that I will fail and end up being cut anyway. I am leaning towards a repeat c-section at the moment. -- Daye Momma to Jayan "Boy" EDD 11 Jan 2004 See Jayan: http://jayan.topcities.com/ |
