[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm pretty "anti" csection in most cases, but i think in your case I would opt for it.[/quote] I agree with this - meaning that for myself, I would not ever choose c-sec unless medically necessary. But if you are a FTM, odds are very likely that you will need to push for longer than 15-20 minutes - I am not a medical professional, but I would be concerned that a preemptive vacuum delivery could be pretty gnarly. Personally, I would prefer the risks of a c-sec (which are known and relatively controlled) to those of a vacuum delivery done that early. It's totally possible that you could be one of those women who doesn't need to push a lot, but I wouldn't bet on it. And fwiw, my sister did have a vacuum delivery, though it was after 2.5 hours of pushing and the baby was close to crowning. She did have an episiotomy, but it healed fine, no additional complications to mother and baby. [/quote]
