Caesarean / C-sect

I'm speaking from my experience with private gynae lah so I hope it's accurate info for you!! :) The extra charges if you choose your own date and time are due to the consideration that this could be during the gynae's normal operating hours or during his "off/weekends". For example, if you pick 9am on a Tuesday, likely his clinic opened /opening on normal Tuesdays and it's taking up his appointment timing! If it's his clinic is usually closed on Tuesday, then you're taking up his break time 😂 Haha if you choose Sunday, hospital and anaesthetist charge extra for OT and all also :) I think in your case, quickly consult your gynae and ask him or her to give you a date based on your condition and concerns so that you can prep best! ❤ Take care and wishing you a smooth delivery!

Hey mama, In my personal opinion, sometimes, when it comes to such decisions, the first thing is ask myself is how much it means to me and how much do I want it. This creates the basis of my ‘Why’ It also pushes me the extra mile. If you really want to try for a natural birth, I’d say really equip yourself with all the knowledge that you can get your hands on and then weigh out your options. Join groups with fellow mamas whose experiences will help you make better choices for yourself. Most importantly, ask questions. Doctors are not there to make decisions for us, they’re there to make decisions WITH us. You know your body better than any doctor. Whatever you decide will then be based on what you know, what you’ve found out and you’ll be more confident with the decision because it’s an informed choice. Im not saying any way to birth is bad - I’m just saying if we birth without knowing what our choices are and what each option involved and we haven’t really thought or reflected about
