Yes I would get in contact with your LMC and see what they say.

Not quite the same but as a point of reference. I had an elective C for breech presentation last time but I was advised that if I wanted a C this time I would have to put up a bit of a fight with the hospital as they prefer me to try VBAC. So as a result I got shared care with a MW and OB. The cost of the OB under this arrangement is $2200.00 for me

However I have had a C before so not quite the same situation but hopefully something useful there for you. ]]> Wed, 26 Aug 2009 22:13:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26723&PID=757993&title=elective-c-section-question#757993 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26723&PID=757855&title=elective-c-section-question#757855 Author: LouD

I would be interested to know the answer to this one also, just for my curiosity]]> Wed, 26 Aug 2009 20:21:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26723&PID=757855&title=elective-c-section-question#757855 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26723&PID=757836&title=elective-c-section-question#757836 Author: Chickaboo

Hi bumble - I think this is best answered by your midwife specialist - but most can not elect to have a c section just cause they want one - but if htere is a medical reason I htink some people have been able to opt to have one.]]> Wed, 26 Aug 2009 20:06:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26723&PID=757836&title=elective-c-section-question#757836 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26723&PID=757726&title=elective-c-section-question#757726 Author: bumble40

Yes they will probably try to encourage you to have a VBAC (that's a guess though as a c/s with twins might be different to a c/s with singleton), however you can request another c/s and they can't say no. The reason being is that there are risks to trying for a VBAC and if you aren't happy taking them then they have to give you a c/s, which obviously as you would already know has it's own set of risks.

I was told by me mw that I could even decide that I wanted to go with a c/s once in labour and the option was pretty much never off the table, I say pretty much as I suspect they would have said no if I had asked as he was crowning....lol]]> Mon, 25 May 2009 07:01:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26723&PID=693967&title=elective-c-section-question#693967 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26723&PID=693924&title=elective-c-section-question#693924 Author: Chickaboo

I had an elective with my thrid (breeched) and now onto the fourth my midwife asked me if I was going to have a ceasar or not. I am not but I think once you have had a ceasar you can opt for one again.

O.K. so as most know by now I had an elective c/section at 37 weeks with the girls due to Esme being breech but also because I wanted one.

Jess and I have talked it over and we think that when the girls turn 3 which is roughly another 2 years we would like to try for one more baby. I'm really positive that I want to have our third and final by c/section but I'm not sure what the rules are. Will they try and push me into a VBAC? Or am I automatically able to have the choice considering my previous c/section? Are there certain rules to elective c/sections?

I remember telling specialists early on that I wanted a c/section with the twins and they were constantly trying to talk me into a natural birth. It wasn't till near the end (about 35 weeks) that they realized Esme wasn't going to turn that they gave in to me. ]]> Sun, 24 May 2009 19:59:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26723&PID=693819&title=elective-c-section-question#693819
