baby no6 would cs be better?

[cosmicwonder]

im classed as 'high risk' as this is baby no6 for me, does anyone know if baby and me would be less at risk if i had a planned c-section?

i am also pregnant with baby 6..i think we are classed as high risk after the 4th baby as there can be higher risk of post-partum bleeding and i have heard that it is harder to push as the body is more 'tired' ... i personally do not believe it would be better to have a c sec as they themselves come with a lot of risks and i think if natural were too much of a risk that 1/ they would advise you to have a c sec and 2/ people wouldn't go on to have more babies.

in my first pregnancy i was classed as high risk because i am only 5ft1 and they thought baby would not fit through the pelvis but she did and i thinki have been high risk for at least 4/6 pregnancies for one reason or another and birthed naturally each time so far..

if it really bothers you though, i think you should talk it over with your hcp

hi, thanks for replying, c-sec is not something i would do lightly, the thought of having an op is scary, im not even good with having bloods done!! MW made me wonder bout c-sec as by the time she had finished going through all the risks associated with being a 'grand multipara' i was petrified! All my other children have been born naturally, just considering if there maybe any other safer options

Maybe discuss it with her next time...I an sure she will be able to help you out ...how many weeks are you?
