Go with whatever you have heart peace about. When I had Johnny, and started out with natural delevery,they had monitors on him and me, so when it went bad, they were able to do that emergency c-section right then. Maybe you can ask if cardiac monitors for baby and mother are standard, etc. Plus you know that he's not breach and the circumference of the head is normal (so he shouldn't get stuck)... Love
I don't have peace about either... To many statistics and risk factors rolling around in my head. Cardiac monitors are standard.
I have no experience in the preggers and birthing situation. However. FWIW. et al, etc.
Looking at your history, I believe I would go with the C-section.
No one poops during C-sections, right?
Not my reasoning just a question.
I don't think so, you have to get a spinal tap for the procedure so everything is temporarily paralyzed.
But that's a good question. Any doctors lurking out there?
My son was born C-section, but I've wondered if the birth mother has HPV and she was protecting him from that, or if she reasoned that she'd get more drugs from that procedure than any other form of delivery.
C-section babies are pretty from the moment they are born, not having had their skull bones crushed about on their way out.
I've seen statistical data showing personality differences between C-section babies, later in life, and vaginal birth babies. I've looked (quickly) but couldn't find anything on the web, but I want to say that the vaginal birth babies were better off than the C-section babies, perhaps because no matter how tough things got later in life, somewhere deep in their psyche, they knew that they've survived tougher things. But I read that on the web, so who knows how credible it was.
This is a personal decision. Every case is different. You've got far far more info on your pregnancy than all of us put together plus experience of a prior birth.
Me? I saw my son the day after he was born. In this case I'm a bloviating asshole who knows nothing about giving birth and even less about your pregnancy and if you give me, or anyone in my boat, and more credibility than we deserve you risk the lesser choice. Take what you know and seek wise council, your husband, doctors, and Mrs. Bane, people who know you, pregnancy, birth, the facts, and have you and your babies health and best interests in mind and base your decision(s) on what they contribute.
As stated before, I'm not basing my decision on what happens at this blog. I'm just curious what people think.
In the end the baby will be born healthy. Either way.
Can you vomit him up? Or is that not an option? I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies, Miz Scawlett.
Either way, I'll keep you in my prayers for a healthy delivery for both of you.
Now here Kat can say that I think way to much.
I fully expect you to make the best decision.
while i have not had a child of my own i do know people who have had a csection and then gave birth vaginally with the next pregnancy. and none of them pooped while in labor... 1 had hemrroids from pushing too hard and in the wrong "area"... like i said: i've never given birth before...
Great... I'm surrounded by men and non-breeders.
And I think I could throw him up if I had previously eaten him, the way birds do. But I gave up my baby eating days a long time ago. Neighbors were getting suspicious.
So far osmosis is winning by a long shot... I get the point! No one cares! I'll take the poll down! Eventually...
First and foremost-Beg God in Heaven for advice. accept his answer. move ahead.
if he doesnt reply then consider the following advice....
While I is a man and a breeder I is a witness first hand to both of my kids coming from betwixt my wife's legs. Now, having witnessed the horror and suffering involved i personally would recommend a C-Section for you , especially since you haven't gone vaginally the first time-provided you have met the surgeon and feel comfortable with him. Regardless be at peace and don't look back -like kat saith.
Go with what seems best for you after asking for guidance--you'll get it.
Love to you.
