Elective C-section?

Question

I’m only 26 weeks but thinking that if my little man doesn’t make his appearance by 40 weeks, can I schedule an elective c-section? Is that something I’m allowed to do?

Answer

As someone who was induced at 41 weeks and labored for 38 hours to only have a c section I can tell you that you don’t want to do that. Not that many places will allow an elective c section with no medical need for it. A c section is a major surgery! But the recovery is 6 weeks plus dealing with a newborn. Trust me, if you don’t have to have it then don’t. Let your body do what it’s suppose to do. If I could have advocated for myself i would have asked for a few more days so that hopefully i could have avoided the whole thing.

Answer

you’d most likely be turned down for that. it’s a major surgery. they’d most likely induce you and do a vaginal birth over that

Answer

LOL

Answer

Why would you want to have a major operation? Do you have a medical reason? Do you have someone to help you for 2 weeks minimum ,every second of every day to do everything for you? Do you know you can’t pick up your baby? Do you understand the pain? 
Why can’t you be induced?

Answer

You can try but you probably will be turned down I don't understand why anyone would want a C-section unless it's was told by a doctor that you need a C-section

Answer

Most countries will not allow you to elect for a CS unless there’s a medical need. Why would you want major surgery unnecessarily?

Answer

You may be able to depending on your dr. I would ask at your next appointment.

Answer

You can ask for an induction for vaginal delivery.

Answer

Depending on where you live, some countries don't allow it. Checj with your doctor or midwife

Answer

Try to ask to be induced instead if baby doesn’t wanna come out after 40 weeks. I got induced at 38 weeks, only cuz I had to.
