[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friends who asked for planned csections in recent years were denied. I wouldn’t assume it will be offered. [/quote] +1 unfortunate but true, they are discouraged even though it should b your choice. I had one th first time for a medical reason. I chose it the second time. I wouldn't go into the surgery and recovery lightly, but it was manageable. 2nd recovery much easier. A lot of OBs go this route due to what they've seen (like your L&D friend) and they have colleagues who will do it for them.[/quote] That’s not why they do it. They do it because it can be scheduled during normal business hours, is quick, less risky for the baby and gets them paid more. It’s major surgery. FWIW, I had a pretty bad tear with a stuck, sunny side up baby. I still recovered, though slower, and went in to have a totally normal second vaginal birth and I don’t have the c section shelf.
