Can you order a C-Section birth instead of vaginal?

Question

I'm so much more comfortable and happy with the c section option. The thought of everyone watching a baby come out of my most private part bothers me. Plus i dont want it to tear 😳😞 I want a child but I don't think I could ever bring myself to have one vaginally.

Answer

It would depend on your doctor, but most will not to do it unless it's medically necessary. I had one and I would not recommend it unless you absolutely have to. They'll already see your "nether regions" while on the operating table and instead of your vag being torn your abdomen is ripped open. It's different for everyone, but mine has caused a lot of complications and has even made this next pregnancy way more painful than the first. The bigger I get the more I can feel the incision site stretching and sometimes it is super duper sore.

Answer

You would have to find a doctor that would be willing to do it. For whatever reason c section births are becoming more common. My first I ended up having to have a c section because my baby was breech and I was not allowed to try a vaginal birth. Now with my second my doctor does not allow VBACS because of potential complications so I will be having another c section. Keep in mind while birth is a big expense either way (hospital stay/paying doctors/ medications... etc.) a c section is major abdominal surgery with an anesthesiologist involved so it's about 3 times more expensive even with insurance. 
Benefits of a c section are you can choose the day you want to have your baby. No guesswork or waiting for labour! Recovery for me was not bad... I think a third degree tear (or any tear) on your lady bits would be MUCH worse. Either way birth is hard on your body, there isn't really an easy way to do it!

Answer

Why don't you try a water birth? That way they can't see much because of the water 😂 and request as minimum amount of people in the room, and dim the lights (if you have that option. At my hospital, I can dim the lights and make these special requests)

Answer

I hated my c-sections. My second son is almost one and I still get pain and I still get pain in my back from my spinal block. I wish I had natural and not cut open. Especially the burning and feeling like my scar ripped apart on the inside and ruined my sex life lol

Answer

I've had a c section and I much rather have had her naturally (didn't dilate like I should have). C sections are extremely hard to recover from especially when you have a newborn. Even after 8 months I still get weird feelings at my scar.

Answer

I actually had this conversation with my dr and she preferred everyone to 'try' first and then a c section could be possible

Answer

Ended uo having a c section with my son due to complications. I plan on having another c section with my daughter.

Answer

It seem impossible watching a live birth. But believe me, I've had my children vaginally and it much easier than you think. No pain thanks to a epidural and once I deliver I'm walking like nothing and breastfeeding comfortly. A lot of my friends that have had a c section tell me it's impossible to breastfeed after a c section and harder to get in shape do to your post surgery. Plus not all women tear down their I didn't. I will be due on December 2017. And hoping it's a quick and easy vaginal birth wouldn't want to get a c section unless is a emergency.
