Any doctor who views every pregnancy as high risk does a LOT of c-sections. You're with the perfect doctor to get the delivery that you need/desire. It's GREAT that you know what you want and what you'll get. It's just so sad when women who don't want a c-section are duped by doctors like that who won't discuss it early on and then later those women feel like it's too late to switch to a different doctor. He CAN'T tell you right now that he'd LOVE nothing more than to do surgery and get paid twice as much for half the work because that's not ethical but trust me... he'll do it for you! :)Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869893984604576139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-44469569091016785852009-04-22T22:05:00.000-04:002009-04-22T22:05:00.000-04:00You GO girl!

You know what works for you - gotta be your own advocate - am pleased to hear it seems like you have a doctor on-board with that and willing to listen and answer questions (a good find!). And, glad to read you are not framing the placenta; really hard to find the right-shape frame for those things!Confessions of a Mother, Lawyer & Crazy Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18328760054648644568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-60403856234677487062009-04-22T11:55:00.000-04:002009-04-22T11:55:00.000-04:00Girl, I am an OB and Labor/Delivery nurse and I al...Girl, I am an OB and Labor/Delivery nurse and I always said after watching my first vaginal delivery "give me a C/S anyday".

Not fair! Not fair!<br />I'm with you on the whole childbirth thing. Those soaps make it look so dang easy. And not a hair out of place or a bit of smeared makeup! All that and they always give birth to an apparent 6 month old baby, who of course looks no worse for the wear either. <br />Me, on the other hand, totally different story. I looked like I had been the victim of several atomic nooggies & sweating like a one-legged jockey. Not pretty at all.<br />Keep those updates coming!Malahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18226198705492411978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-9454879102840636702009-04-21T17:44:00.000-04:002009-04-21T17:44:00.000-04:00I've had ovarian cysts rupture twice.

I am glad you have a doctor who listens to you and answers all of your questions.Hilary Marquishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17074833890977655054noreply@blogger.com
