[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The worst labor & delivery stories I've heard involve moms who went for traditional birth (some unmediated), ended up with complications and ultimately had emergency c-sections after looooong and painful labors.

The best stories I've heard are from moms who (for one reason or another) had scheduled c-sections. No labor pain, no surprises, etc. You can even set up your house to make things easier during recovery (i.e. buy a step stool for the bedroom.) All super happy, healthy babies. [/quote]

This was me. Birth number one was scenario 1; birth number two was a planned C. Oh boy was the planned C lovely. You just check in, get some meds, baby is born 2 hours from when you get to the hospital. Everything is planned and unless you go into labor early, you know exactly when the bay will arrive. I loved that. Recovery from a planned C was a breeze. I was driving 5 days later. [/quote]

Unless you're me and the stupid hospital and doctor's office somehow fouled up and gave me wrong times and called me to ask where I was because I was supposed to be in the OR at that very moment.  That was NOT what my paperwork said!  So, I had to be rushed to the hospital and rushed into surgery so that I wouldn't get bumped to another damn day.  I mean, MOSTLY, the second planned c-section was better than the surprise emergency c/s for #1.  But, ugh.[/quote]
