Wow.................

Thought Id post about to have my 2nd C/s after 2 totally natural births and 1 elective c/s.....

Okay both have there plus sides really, both have there risks involved as does any birth, whether or not you are PRO/CON for either a little bit of knowledge goes a long long way.

Heres a quick run down on my particular experience, both natural births were at busy public hospitals after pretty decent length labors (days not hours) and both times I was up and walking back to the maternity ward after the birth.

Third baby, Little private hospital, TOP IVF obstertrician, small little issue of Ventriculomegally (abnormal (1mm out of normal) fluid on the brain Ventricle) I was pretty much told at 20 weeks it would be a c/s to avoid putting any pressure on the brain during delivery........so C/s it was, Forth baby this August I was only pretty much accepted into my OBGYN and hospital with a elective C/S at 38 weeks.....


Mmmmm Makes you think,

Oh and a sister who had her baby late last year was only given about 12 hours in labour before she was c/s due to failure to progress.....same hospital same OBGYN.

NOW dont get me wrong I LOVE my obgyn hes a living legend, But I do pause sometimes and think about the Public Vs Private debate......


HTH, Not aggrovate
