Me! Mine was breech at 33 weeks and was scheduled c-sect too. She turned at 35 weeks so c-sect cancelled. At 40 weeks on her EDD, I was wheeled in for emergency c-sect cause even after 10cm dilated after more than 24hrs of labour (including start of contraction at 7am), baby was still high up. My water bag broke at 11pm, just 1hr after I reached hospital the night before her EDD. She also pooped few times. The morning after 10am, I was sent for emergency c-sect. Wasn’t a good idea to keep me and baby waiting for so long cause it nearly cost one of our lives, nurses and docs told my husband. I don’t know what happened cause I developed high fever and baby was in distress throughout the 12hrs from the time I was admitted.
But different people will have different birth story.. so let’s hope yours will be a smooth one. Many want to go for natural but some wouldn’t want to take the risk and just go for elective c-sect.
I must tell you road to recovery for c-sect is tough as hell so be prepared and get more help at home.
