C-Section operations are not all the same

[Peg]

interesting. out of curiosity - who is your Ob? Just so I can say "so and so does it" when I go back for another bubba!

i've just begun to see Jan Naidoo from the sunshine hospital.

He came very highly recommended and has a lot of experience and a lovely man. I was surprised though when he said he doesnt do the misgav method...he said he cuts the muscle to get to the uterus

thankfully he said he'll do it the way i've requested though...thats the benefits of going private. I just wish i had of known about it years ago. The method came about only about 10 years ago, so its still fairly new and australia usually is behind the rest of the world in many areas.

Great info Peg. FWIW my OB didn't cut my stomach muscles, he pulled them apart as per the method you described. I guess is just the way he does it because I'd never heard of the method and didn't ask before hand. If anyone would like his details PM me because I found him fantastic!

Fantastic information, especially for those who are faced with c/section.

I asked my OB today and he confirmed that he pulls the muscles apart verus cutting them as well, he did my last CS and i had a good recovery, although i had no idea what method he used. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!!!

its great to hear that there are some obs who use the pull apart method

hopefully it becomes more widespread in the years to come.

Mother Goose, just wanted to add that I can't recommend him highly enough. I found him incredibly supportive throughout my pregnancy and he was also really supportive of my birth wishes. When things didn't go to plan I was so glad that I had an OB who I trusted completely. The other thing I love about him is that he is truly passionate about what he does, on a number of occassions we talked about the magic and miracle of pregnancy and birth, I could be wrong, but I think it is pretty rare to find an OB who is so passionate about what he does.

Great post Peg, I don't 'plan' to have a C-Section but I will be asking my OB at my next appointment if he does this method so that I can request it now 'in case' one is really needed. Thanks so much for posting
