I was just wondering if u have the option
to go for a c-section versus a vaginal
birth if its what u prefer?? Not that its
for me im just curious. I know they only
do it when absolutely needed but do u
really have the option to choose on ur
own? ~ erica.

As far as I know you can't choose a
c-section. Usually it's the doctors last
resource. C-sections are usually given if
the baby is too big, can't get the baby
out in time like its taking too long, if
the mom has a medical condition that
prevents natural child birth, etc... I
hear that most doctors dont like to do
c-sections unless its necessary but some
places might be diffrent. Hope this helps
:d

I dont know wot its like in the states
where u are all from but im from australia
and where I live they do give u the
option, u can book in close to ur due date
and they will give u a ceasar if ur
"scared" about natural child birth. They
will also give a ceasar if the mother is
having difficulty or the baby is in
trouble or the usual reasons.

No you dont have the option unless you've
already had a c-section before. The
doctor's told me with my first pregnancy
that they were almost positive I couldnt
have a baby natural but that I had to try
because insurence wouldn't cover it unless
it was a must and c-sections run about
10,000.00 at least mine did!!

I have insurance so I am completley
covered for everything. When my sis had
her first son, all she told the doc was
that she is so exausted so he asked her if
she wanted a c-section and they went for
it. So who knows. Thanks again! ~erica.
