[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t want the scar [/quote] Scheduled C here. My doctor did my scar in my bikini line, it’s tiny, about 3 inches, and you cannot see it. You have to palpate the skin to locate it, it’s that unnoticeable. The photo shared earlier is not representative of most scars. [/quote] Even if you have a horribly ugly scar it can be revised. [/quote] +1 I had really bad keloids with DC#1. OB fix it with DC#2 also a c. Agree with a PP, uncomplicated natural birth is always preferred. The problem is you don't know if you will have an uncomplicated natural birth or not. I was 10 days over due, and even after they induced me, [b]popped the water, I stopped contracting. [/b] Even the hospital's resident midwife and doula told me to get the emergency c. Didn't want to go through that again with DC#2, so OB said I could schedule the c, which I did. So easy.[/quote] That's what happened to me. They ran me up twice on the oxytocin, exhausted my receptors, so my uterus was floppy for the C section where I hemorrhaged. I was told after by a second midwife she did not want to induce because I was looking at the same scenario again which runs a risk of hysterectomy. Then had me on that stupid drip all night leading up to the C section. Nobody brought up throwing in the towel for the vaginal birth and letting the receptors reset for the C section. I don't know why I was being given vital information after it was too late. I had a 39 week induction so I had time to wait for natural labor, or consider inducing later, or maybe even just say F it and schedule a C. I had a traumatic vaginal birth with a blue baby with my first and of course that is immediately dismissed as not being a factor. Then I've head it is more likely to happen again, and happens more with oxytocin. So many factors to consider and you CANNOT do that in a meaningful way when things are already starting to go bad. And you cannot get a second opinion strapped to a oxytocin infusion pump and fetal heart rate monitor. [/quote]
