More fun calculators

I'm too scared, I don't want to play with it!

First of all it wouldn't work for me - second, as a Doula, I think it's a load of crap.

Ha.. it gave me a 15.6% chance based on my daughter's stats.

I did it for my first pregnancy and for this one. I filled in all fields except for the fetal weight cause I don't do grams. I had a 20% chance of a section with my first (but isn't that pretty close to the national average anyway????) and with this one (granted I'm 36 rather than 28) it had me at over 27% chance of a section.

Considering that my first baby was 8lb 5oz, 22 inches long and the second and third babies were 9 pounds and 22 inches and I carried them and delivered them from my 5 ft, 2 inch, 110 pound (pre-pregnancy weight) frame with no problems, I find it hard to believe that I have a nearly 30% chance of a section this time around.

I think it's total hooey!!!

I vote it's a bunch of hooey. I entered my info with Max, even converted the pounds to grams! Said I have a 21.9% chance of C-sect and 12.7% chance of Cephophalic(sp?) disproportion. Max fit just fine. No CPD here.

Seemed like mine was kinda high. I did it for Emma and it was 24.8% of section and 13,9% chance of CPD. Neither was ever a consideration. Particularly not CPD. I have a roomy pelvis.

It wouldn't work for me either. I'm glad because I didn't want to see the results, but I was morbidly curious.

Hmm, well, It wouldn't be accurate for me because it only went up to 4500 grams, and DS was a bit more than that, but if he *was* 4500 g it was a 50% chance of CS, and a 40-something% of CPD (neither of which happened)

I vote it's a bunch of hooey/crap whatever way you want to describe it. OBs tend to get weirded out by maternal age, obesity, etc, so if you have an OB and one of those things then sure your chances go up. But if you have an OB without any of those risk factors your chances go up. OB's are surgeons. Plain and simple.

I had a c/s with #1 and it said my risk was 25% for c/s, 8% for CPD. I VBAC'd with #2 and it said my risk was 36% for c/s and 24% for CPD.

I have a pretty high rate, but have never had a c section, even though my last 2 were 10lbs 1oz and 11lbs. 13 ozs.
