LYC: Mrs. Vermin is prob'ly gonna have a Cesarean.

Posted by Dr.Vermin (aka Dr.Vermin) Mar 18 '09, 21:56

She has an abnormally positioned tailbone that will *break* during delivery if the baby is 7lbs. or over, the doc says.

Mrs.V's research says that recovery from a Cesarean is even shorter than recovery from a broken tailbone, so it seems like a pretty easy choice.

Unrelated to this decision but potentially noteworthy is the fact that *I* was born Cesarean as well.

So I'm also curious as to Mop's fascination/aggravation by this trend.

Our patients are usually in the hospital for 4 days rather than 48 hours. She'll need a bit more help at home for the first several weeks. - Trish Mar 18, 23:34
"Every pregnant woman in the U.S. should be alarmed by this rate," - Mop Mar 18, 22:18 5
- Thanks. I read the "taking a toll" part, and was waiting to hear what that toll could be. - Dr.Vermin Mar 18, 22:24 4
  - A first C-section doesn't mean you can't have a VBAC after that. Plenty of women do. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 18, 22:49 3
    - Yeah, and some doctors won't perform a VBAC. - Stephen Mar 18, 23:16 1
      - That mostly has to do with the length and the exact location of the original incision. - Trish Mar 18, 23:23
    - Thx, wiggie! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 18, 23:04
