emergency c/s

[EsJay]

yes, my ob and i discussed the possibility of removing my ovarian cyst should i need an emergency c/s with my first pregnancy. i did indeed need an emergency c/s and she did the cystectomy at the same time. took a little longer than just a c/s and apparently some of the pain in the first few days could be attributed to the cystectomy, but im glad now that i had it done as in the long run it has been much better for me, i got rid of the cyst and associated pain it had caused me for years and i didnt have to go under again, plus i got reassured it wasnt cancerous as well.
goodluck i hope you dont need a c/s

Do you need to have counselling for that type of decision? No idea, just thinking aloud.

No idea! I spoke to my GP and he has already put me on the public waiting list at the same hospital. But I will ask my midwife to put it in their notes so that it doesn't seem like a spur of the moment decision.

Because you're going public it should be easy to do - I know quite a few women who've had it done during a c/s. But if you were going to a private-religion affiliated hospital then they will flat out refuse to do a sterilisation. DH couldn't have his vasectomy done in the private hospital because it was catholic based and they wont do IVF procedures or sterilisation.
