the reason for my c-section...

[mbmomof3]

Everyone's need for a c-section is different, I thought it would be nice to share what our reason's were...it doesn't have to be long like your welcome story, just what led you to the c-section/s...

My first was labeled FTP (failure to progress) and CPD (small pelvis big baby) my second was suspected uterine rupture (but no rupture...thankfully)

My son was breech.  He came out tushy first.  *LOL*  His first rebellious act was mooning the doctor.

FTP

[.Mrs.B.]

Sudden and violent blood loss at 2 cm. I didn't have a choice. I'm just lucky I was at the hospital when it happened.

My baby's heartrate was dropping really low so they wanted to get her out fast!

my daughter was breech and she had her cord wrapped around her neck and chest.

The reason for my c-section was because I had ended up with some complications at the last minute (In which I had none during the whole course of my pregnancy - considering the health problems I have)....Started having seizures one morning....Had to have an emergency c-section. My son was 29 days early. They told me the seizures were caused by toxemia & pre-eclampsia....

With my son it was failure to progress and well they thought I might any ways because of having a smaller pelvis....I had the same doctor that brought me into the world via c-section, so he knew my mom's and my history! With my daugher I opted for the repeat just because I knew there was a chance I'd have one anyways!!!

Found out at 38 weeks she was a footling breech( I thought her butt was really big but it turned out to be her head!)

I had 2 c-sections because both of my kids were breech!  and I had gestational diabetes so i was having big babies. my daughter was 8.9lbs 3 weeks early and my son was 9.9lbs!

I started getting high blood pressure roughly around my 34th week and was sent home with strict bedrest.  I carried my son until I was induced on my 41st wk as my blood work started to go a little bonkers.  I ended up having my C after my son FTP and it turned out he was facing sideways into my pelvis.  His little heartbeat was starting to slow down in my 8th hour of labour so I had a C.  Everything turned out just fine.  He was red as a little beetroot, but was born Jan 3, 2007 at 1:30am and weighed 7lb 12oz.  Nice to meet all of you!
