scary odds

[babydue07182013]

So when baby girl was getting her pics taken today the photographer mention 10 out of the 13 baby's they were taking pictures of today were born via c section. So sad :( I really feel like doctors would rather do a section than deliver naturally. My doctor tried breaking my water at 0 cm when I had been on pictocin for only 20 minutes. I felt rushed and he was talking about a c section 2 hours into labor cause I was only a 1. I know in my case it did turn out to be for the better cause the cord was wrapped twice around her neck. But 10 out of 13? It's just sad odds

That's one thing I love about having a midwife. My son was born with the cord around his neck twice but he is fine now :) they have the lowest c-section rate! But in case of an emergency I understand

That's horrible!! I really wished I would have done vaginal but with all the complications I was having c section was best. If I have another I will try vbac in a heart beat.

My daughter was born on the 2nd and her cord was wrapped twice around her neck. When I was in l&d waiting to be released Thursday every lady in there was being prepped for surgery.  There were four in triage with me and 5 in ld rooms waiting. Actually glad she came in an ambulance lol

My mom also delivered  my brother vaginally with his cord slightly wrapped around his neck

Yup my friend had a c section and the doc told her in 48 hours he had delivered 23 babies and 21 of them were c sections.....

Yeah I was the same as you, I wasn't ready at all, not dilated at all or anything but my Dr took everything slow so my chances of vaginal were better it took me over 10 hours to get to a 4 it makes for a long delivery but it worked

Unfortunatly it is the way it goes. My mom delivered my two brothers vaginally with hardly any pushing. When it came time to deliver me she pushed and I didn't come and finally after pushing forever I came out with a very short cord wrapped around my neck. It can be done but it is very dangerous and had my moms doctor known about the cord I would have been a c section baby. Sometimes things work out in your favor. Who knows how difficult of a birth you would have had had the doctor allowed you to deliver vaginally.

In the USA 1/3 of births are c section s and if your induced your chance of a section jumps to 2/3. Its really sad. My doc wanted to induce me and I refused just because of the odds. And the American college of gynecology doesn't recommend induction s of ftm because they routinely fail.
