Why would I have a planned C-Section?
Written by Webmaster
The reasons for having a C-Section...
Sometimes it's clear that a woman will need a cesarean even before she goes into labor. Conditions that may necessitate a planned c-section include:
• You've had a "classical" cesarean (with a vertical uterine incision) or more than one previous c-section. (If you've had only one previous c-section with a horizontal incision, you may be a good candidate for a vaginal birth after cesarean or VBAC.)
• You've had some other invasive uterine surgery.
• You're carrying triplets or more.
• Your baby is expected to be very large, especially if you're diabetic or if you had a previous baby of the same size or smaller who suffered serious trauma during a vaginal birth.
• Your baby is in a breech (bottom first) or transverse (sideways) position. (In some cases, such as a twin pregnancy in which the first baby is head-down but the second baby is breech, a breech baby may be delivered vaginally.)
• You have placenta previa (when the placenta is so low in the uterus that it covers the cervix).
• The baby has a known fetal illness or abnormality that would make a vaginal birth risky.
• You're HIV positive and blood tests done near the end of pregnancy show that you have a high viral load.
