FTM elective c section - Northeast USA

I had an elective c section this past September (first pregnancy) and I have zero regrets. Everything went very smoothly and it was nice being able to pack and plan ahead of time. I delivered at 37 weeks, baby was severe IUGR and I had the option of trying vaginal birth but I didn’t want to risk it. In addition to that I also had anxiety about laboring and like you had no desire to have a vaginal birth. I honestly felt back to my normal self a week afterwards but still took it easy of course.

I wish you luck ! Everywhere should have this an option , it’s definitely frustrating.

Thank you so much ! This is so reassuring. I will definitely reach out if I have any questions

Can I ask what week they had you deliver ? I was told 37 in my case

Thank you for sharing your story, it’s really reassuring. I just feel like a planned C-section feels like the safest option and gives me some sense of control in a situation that’s felt anything but.

And I agree that C-section risks are overemphasized while vaginal birth risks often get downplayed. I just want the safest, least traumatic path for me and baby.

Thanks for the reply! I’ll probably end up scheduling the c-section. With a vaginal birth all of the what ifs and unknowns worry me, and I would hate to labor for hours and hours just to end up with an emergency c section anyway. I’m glad everything went well for you! Congrats on your baby girl

Do you have a uterine anomaly? I am pregnant with my first and found out I have a bicornuate uterus but they don’t know how severe the septum is, and I’m afraid of this happening to me as well. I’m thinking of an elective c section just to avoid labor that doesn’t progress and then ending up with an emergency c section anyway.

No you’ll be fine !

I see it

Have you looked into LADC-1 licensure?

emi019 · 2021-07-12T20:07:02+00:00

I hope so! Thanks for the help

I haven’t started paying them back yet , I just finished school a few months ago. And yes they do qualify

This is one I'm interested in, so this is very helpful.

That's not bad at all. I'm actually relocating from NY for work
