Well, statistically 1 in 3 women (33%) will go for C-Section. So, it is important to talk about it now so that you can handle whatever comes at you.

Now, there are elective and emergent C-Sections. Some doctors will allow you to elect to have a C-Section, and some will not if you have no risk factors. An emergency C-Section means that the benefit to take you to surgery outweighs the benefits of a vaginal delivery. There is also the mama that had a C-Section and is now pregnant with her second baby. She may choose to VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section), but she may elect to have a C-Section. It is important to talk to your doctor whether you want to attempt to labor or elect to have a c-section for this baby. Now is the time to start looking at your healthcare provider’s C-Section rates, the hospital’s rates, and so forth. If you have a midwife for a healthcare provider, then you need to ask what surgeon will be performing your C-Section in the case that you need one.

To clarify, C-Section is a surgery. Let’s talk about it and why you may have to have one. Mamas are at greater risk for C-Section if they have a high-risk pregnancy, carry multiples such as twins, have high blood pressure, relevant obstetrical history, an arrest of labor, and many other reasons. Make sure you know beforehand if you are at greater risk for C-Section. Be prepared to ask questions, and make sure your husband is prepared to ask questions. You want to be in charge of what happens to you. Be ready to weigh the risks and benefits, and be ready to make a decision that is best for you and baby.

The operating room is bright, sterile, it echos, and there are people everywhere getting ready for you and baby. If you have an epidural while during labor, then that epidural will be used unless it stops working. If you do not have an epidural in place, then the anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist will place a spinal or possibly general anesthesia in the case of an emergency. A spinal will cause numbness and your chest may feel heavy. The anesthesiologist will monitor your breathing, so don’t be alarmed if your chest feels heavy. However, don’t be afraid to ask questions if you are concerned.
