When is C/S really needed?
I ask knowing that most are not needed, that certain docs make having one more likely, that all women in my family have very difficult pregnancies & deliveries.
Although interested in home-birth, I am wondering if in my case it is too risky and expensive-esp. if/when medical intervention comes into play.
The women in my family have had incompetent cervix and worse. My mother had at least 4 miscarriages; with each of the three of us who lived, she had gestational diabetes and pre-ecclampsia which developed into full toxemia with her third living child. My female cousins all have similar OB/GYN related issues.
I had gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia with my dd ending in C/S after unsuccessful vaginal delivery attempt. My dh and I are trying to have another and I am curious about my options.
