Hi Charli'sMumma & also to MamaDuke

Congrats to both of you on being able to convince your obs to agree to this type of C/S.

Do either of you have any advice or info that you think might be helpful in convincing an Obs to agree to this type of C/S?

I soon to have my 25 week appointment with my obs and will be raising the topic with him then. I am pregnant with my third child, and for medical reasons will be having an elective caesar. I am hoping for a MAC/S as my last experience of an emergency caesar was quite distressing.

Is there anything you recommend that I do (or don't) say in trying to get him to see things my way?

I have a different obs this time, as my previous one has moved. To complicate matters further, it is most likely that the new obs will be on leave around the time of the baby's birth, so yet another obs will probably end up delivering my baby.

I barely know either of these men (haven't even met the 2nd one), and I have yet to develop any real rapport with them. So I am assuming that I will have a VERY difficult time convincing them to allow me to have a 'different' type of caesar.

Any relevant information you could provide would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks, Nicole
