C-section or Naturally?!

Question

I would love to have my baby girl naturally But I feel like these days c-sections happen so often. Any tips that could help me keep my natural birth plan? Granted I kno things change in delivery room and we do what's best for baby. But I'm not interested in getting cutt. Or the healing process. Thoughts? What do you ladies prefer?

Answer

Don't cave into c section unless it's 100 percent needed. Look up what are the reasons you should. I was 10 cm and ready to push when they couldn't locate my baby's heart beat. Had a contraction that wouldn't stop and had to get a shot to stop contractions. Almost had to get c section. But the baby nor I was in any danger at that point. So I refused it. I waited and contractions came back and I delievered

Answer

I was basically told I was going to need a c section regardless because I am so small. I was adamant that I would stick to a natural birth as long as baby was ok. Despite the doctors trying to push me towards a c section during my extremely hard and long labour, there was no reason I needed one so I held my ground and ended up delivering naturally.

Answer

Make a birth plan or birth preference list. Most modern midwives suggest you see a chiropractor throughout your last trimester to align your uterus so the baby positions right (significantly lowers your chances of baby being breech) watch a lot of birth videos to accept the natural birth process. Take hypnobirthing classes.

Answer

Choose your hospital. Look at the statistics for all hospitals in your area and choose one that has a low c section rate. Below 23.9% is the national recommendation. Look at the hospital practices as well. If you're having an uncomplicated pregnancy and birth then you should be seen by only a midwife. You should have a doula in the delivery room with you. You should wait to go to the hospital until labor has progressed with contractions happening every five minutes. Don't get induced. The list goes on as there are so many contributing factors. Do your research.
