[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, baby's size is not a risk factor for a c-section unless you have certain conditions or complications (like GD).

You may want to read about the real risk factors - provider/hospital preference and induction before the body is primed for labor - being the big ones.

It sounds like your practice are already treating you as a high-risk case (testing your blood for platelets, giving you NST tests), despite you actually being very low risk. That indicates they are more likely to recommend a c-section for you earlier in your labor than they would for someone they view as low-risk, even if your labor is progressing normally.

Some sources of info that might help you make a decision:

The website, "Evidence Based Birth" is not really evidence based.  [/quote]
The site has hundreds of detailed articles and podcast episodes that explain the latest and best research on childbirth topics, with full citations.

ev·i·dence-based
adjective
denoting an approach to medicine, education, and other disciplines that emphasizes the practical application of the findings of the best available current research.

But I'm not going to argue....anyone can access the site and form their own opinions.[/quote]
