If I ever need to have a c-section, I hope I have the option of doing it this way

I know this is an old thread - I just came across this 2007 article from The Age and thought I'd share as its about maternal assisted cesareans...mods, if the link is an issue please feel free to delete,
Delivered safely by caesarean with his mother's hands - National - theage.com.au

That OB is my OB, I will ask him at my next appt if he's done any more since this one.

I'd love to know if he is still doing them, or they've become more common

Hi katones,

As you can see from my ticker I an UTD again, but unfortunately my OB has now reneged on allowing me to have a MACS, saying that the hospital will no longer allow it due to worrying about infection

Not happy JAN!

Anyway I've ditched that OB and I'm going through the public system instead. Hoping for a VBAC BUT I've done my birth plan and included in the caesarean one things like removing the screen to see the delivery, and skin to skin in theatre. The hospital seemed okay with that.

No MACS unfortunately for me

but hoping to avoid a CS anyway . . .
