I had a C Section, no problem there for me. I was at 39 weeks and had not dilated at all. My 36 week ultrasound showed him at 8 pounds already, which is why we induced. They tried the first induction drug which did not soften my cervix but caused the Little Man distress. My Doctor was fine with continuing the induction but certain we would end up at a C Section. If he couldn't handle the starter drugs, he was not going to handle Pitosin (sp) Little Man was 10 pounds 2 ounces and never made it into the birth canal so he was only coming via C Section. Thank God my doctors were reading the signs right.
I just wish that Doctors were more focused on case by case decisions and less on statistics. Yes, C Sections to make life easier on the Doctor are wrong but pushing someone to 96 hours of labor and a risky birth is wrong as well.
Just frustrated.
And then reading the crap people post about how C Sections are wrong and how they should be avoided just cause me to scream.
OK, clearly my buttons have been pushed.
