Due Date Club April 2007:Article-3 Will I have C-section?

2007-03-14

Name: saradha hi all

here goes my third article.

WILL I HAVE A C-SECTION?

Know about your probability towards C-section. Here are the most common reasons a C-section is needed:

PROLAPSED CORD:
This is when the cord comes down before the baby.
Can I know this before hand?
NO you can not know, this is is likely an emergency C-section, won' t have enough time to think and decide on.

PLACENTA ABRUPTIO:
When the placenta separates before the birth. The condition usually identified at around week 34 week 35. C-section is the way to save your baby.

PLACENTA PREVIA:
The placenta partially or completely covers the cervix. This is a complication of low lying placenta, if not moved upward around or before week 34.

FETAL MISREPRESENTATION:
Transverse lie, breech (feet first). This can be an emergency or planned C-section. If baby is already head down but due to stress of labor turns the position and get ins one of the breech position then C-section is inevitable.

CEPHALOPELVIC DISPROPORTION(CPD):
When the head is too large to fit through the pelvis. This is usually the case with Macrosomic babies, or mothers with small pelvis. If a normal size baby was delivered due to CPD then mother is likely to undergo C-section in subsequent pregnancies.

FETAL DISTRESS:
The baby' s heart rate rising or dropping rapidly. This can be due to two reasons, imbalanced oxygen supply or changing position due to stress or cord wrapped around the neck.

MATERNAL MEDICAL CONDITIONS:
Such as preclampsia for example. If this condition is identified then C-section is like a necter to save mother and baby.

Best wishes for all the moms to hv a safe vaginal delivery.

Cheers

Useful !!

Hi Sarada,
This is really useful info.
But cud you also post, if there are any symptoms, which we can guess and then decide.. say for the first 3-4 cases, what cud possibly be a symptom which we need to respond to immd? cos sometimes, the doc checks up in a gap of a week or 10 days, meanwhile what are all the symptoms we shud watch out for?

Thanks !

hi shalini

u can see the below chart for the weight of the baby for each week.

Average fetal length and weight chart

From early on in pregnancy, babies grow at different rates, so these numbers are merely averages. Your baby´ s actual length and weight may vary substantially. Don´ t worry too much if an ultrasound indicates that your baby is much smaller or larger. (Your practitioner will let you know if it´ s time to worry about how big your baby is.) By full-term, your baby may end up weighing less than 5 pounds or more than 9.

Note that babies are measured from the crown (or top) of the head to the rump (or bottom) until about 20 weeks. After that, they´ re measured from head to toe. (This is because a baby´ s legs are curled up against his torso during the first half of pregnancy and very hard to measure.)
