Tough decision - Elective C or not ?
Wifes now 36 weeks but baby is measuring up to 40 weeks already so it
looks very large. Consultant has given us the choice :- 1. Elective C-section at 39 weeks. 2. Induce at 40 weeks. Option 1 seems OK but consultant highlighted the risks involved with any C-section. Option 2 seems better if natural birth is possible. However, theres a higher risk of emergency C-section which is obviously worse. Are there any stats on how many Elective C-sections have problems ? What about stats on how many large babies get forced down the emergency C anyway? What about the extra risks of an emergency C compared to an elective? Also, my wifes decided on an epidural anyway in the event of normal birth. Does'nt this provide problems with larger babies anyway? I'e' forceps or ventouse delivery? Not what we want either.... Confused Father.... |
