Yes...but they usually 'simply' do a cesarean...not an emergency

EMERGENCY cesarean...??


Oh, I see what you mean . . . well, when it happened to me, I was at 8
cm, and I was pretty out of it by that time, seeing as how I was SO
disappointed about my VBAC and was hysterically crying . . . but things
did seem to move rather quickly and they were sure acting like it was
an emergency. I think they are just petrified that the baby will come
out bottom first before they can stop it, when it is so close to the
end of labor.
