Moms with Planned C-section......
For medical reasons we are having a planned C-section. Is there anyone else who is having this as well?
If so how many weeks before your due date are you scheduled to deliver?

Re: Moms with Planned C-section......
i'm sorry to sound ignorant but why would anyone need to plan a c-section? how do they know in advance? i thought it was just if the labor wasn't working out...

Re: Moms with Planned C-section......
If you already had a C section you can opt to have another like me. Some people also have medical conditions where they cant do a natural delivery such as prior abdominal surgery etc.
P>S what you are talking about is an emergency C-section.

There are a TON of reasons why a c-section would be planned. I know that this is a possibility with me due to a vaginal polyp that coupld possibly block the birth canal.
Planned c-sections get a bad rap because of people like Britney Spears who want to do them b/c they think they are easier.
Other reasons could be placenta previa and some cervical issues.

Agreed. Celebs are giving it a bad rap.

Re: Moms with Planned C-section......
Jeremy was a planned C-section. He was due on the 15th and I had him on the 14th. I wanted him to cook as long as possible before I forced him out of the womb. This baby is due on the 10th but sticking with tradition I am going in next Friday (the 9th)
My reason for a C isnt convenience it is because of the risk of uterun rupture and/or need for a C after labor anyway (did that once already) outweighted the idea of a VBAC

If I get pregnant, I will need a planned C-section, and I have never been pregnant before. I have had a myomectomy (fibroid surgery). This is like having a prior C-section, but the way it was explained to me, a VBAC (vaginal birth) is not even an option as it may be for some who have had prior C-sections. This is because of the location of my prior incision and the extent of my surgery. If the incision could have been made to a different part of my uterus, or if the surgery were less extensive, it would be a different story. I already have 2 doctors opinions on my situation (surgeon and current OB/GYN).
Sorry, I do not know anything yet about how my Dr. schedules C-sections.

Re: Moms with Planned C-section......
I had a planned c/s with my first because up until 37 weeks, he was still breech. So we scheduled it.
My water ended up breaking before the planned date, so I went in and had hte c/s then.
I chose not to have a planned c/s for my second. I was a good candidate for VBAC and I was able to do just that.

Re: Moms with Planned C-section......
I am having a planned c-section due to family medical history on both sides (close family) of cerebral aneurysms. If I do have the weakness in my artery (never been tested), the pushing could make it rupture.
My due date is 4/4 and I am scheduled for 3/30 for my c-section

Yes. My placenta is covering my cervix. We are trying to make sure that I do not go into labour so at this point we are talking about 1 week ahead of DD. I have to go back for another sono at 28 weeks to see if my placenta is moving, if not then I will get it checked every 2 weeks, then every week after 34 weeks to make sure I am not going into labor. Once I hit 38 weeks I will go everyother day to look for sugns of labour.
Of course this can all change at any of the visits

There are medical conditions that make a vaginal birth risky for both mom & the baby. I have my placenta covering my cervix. since the baby cannot pass through the placenta, and the placenta cannot come out before the baby, we have to have a c-section.
Also there are neurological things as well, like seizuring, that can require the new mom not to push for fear of triggering a seizure. There are some pulmonary & heart conditions as well that will pre-dispose someone to needing a c-section.

Re: Moms with Planned C-section......
I have a planned c-section. My son son was born severely premature and I needed a classical c-section where the cut goes up & down vs. across. Because of that, I can never experience a contraction. I will be heavily monitored towards the end of my pg and if all is well, an amnio will be performed at 36 weeks and delivery at 37

Re: Moms with Planned C-section......
I have a very stupid question - when you girls say that the baby was breach - how do the doctors know this? Is this what they look for when doing internals? I just wasn't sure if they actually give you a sonogram at that time - or if that's what the internals check for.

They can tell by u/s, but also, they are able to tell just by feeling your belly. The baby's head is very hard and round and easy to tell from the rest of the body.
