when did you know that you have to go through c section?

Question

i am first time mom and my dr doesnt told me yet that i have to go through c section or natural?in which week did you know that you are having c section?

Answer

I found out that I needed a c-section after 19 hours of labor.  My daughter had flipped to face up and I stopped progressing at a 5. I had an epidural for most of my labor,  but they normally don't work for "back labor", which I had since she flipped and the back of her head was pressed up against my lower back. My doctor couldn't get her to flip back over,  so off to the OR  we went.  Thankfully,  my c-section wasn't that bad and I recovered well  (I have heard some horror stories about c-sections). Normally there is a medical reason to have a c-section.

Answer

Most people don't know in advance about needing a c-section. Unless there is a medical need that requires a C, you'll likely attempt vaginal delivery and only move to a C if necessary.

They told me my first two kids would be big and they both were 7lbs. That's not a reason for C-section. I have never had issue with baby being breeched, I think most dr's would recommend a C, but not all. Unless you had a placenta previa or other medical condition, plan on vaginal birth. 
I have a scheduled C this time because it's my third and I'm having my tubes tied.
