Hi,

I was wondering this out loud to a gf the other day, but it's been bothering me ever since. I am going to discuss this with my ob, BUT I would like some more background info, so to speak.

I have to have another c/s. Discussion closed on that one. I was wishing/wondering/hoping if I could "demand" going into labour naturally?? I mean, I would love to experiance SOME form of labour. Like my waters breaking and some contractions (I know there are some of you girls going "Girlfriend you don't know what your talking about, na-ha") But thats exactly my point. I don't want to have two kids and not been able to experiance childbirth. I KNOW and have accepted that a VB is out of the question, but surely there must be a way to let me at least get something????

I am at peace with the fact that MAYBE this one might come early too and if that be the case, fine. But what if everything goes great up until due date? I have not even discussed it with DH yet, I still have to find the right words to explain to him why I would want to do this. I have decided that I want a spinal, because I want to see my baby asap, but again .. if it ends up as and emergency c/s and the ob feels that general is safer for me ... that's ok too BUT I want the option IF everything goes great, kwim??
I'm rambling

So is it possible to let a woman go into labour naturally and still safely perform a c/s?? I am not stupid and I know that lots of woman that goes into labour naturally get c/s because of various reasons, but is there any woman that goes into labour and KNOWs they are getting c/s, kwim?? This gf said that they may not let me do this, because the baby could already be to far down?? to do a c/s.

I really don't want a "planned c/s" date and be all prepeard and stuff
