What about a woman who gave birth on Christmas Day? What kind of timing is that? 🤦🏼♀️0

Is not choosing the day you give birth (or at least choosing between a couple of options) reasonably common with elective caesarians?

But didn't I just find an article wherein "...it is estimated that 2.5% of all births in the United States are cesarean delivery on maternal request."? Wouldn't you agree that's a pretty small percentage?0

Is choosing the day an option? Doesn't the Doctor always decide?0

isnt that a tad misleading?
Isnt maternal request different to medical recomendation?

didn't my sister get offerred 2 dates and she chose Wed 11th?
Isn't that a better choice than Friday 13th?1 -
He planned a Friday the 13th!?:D
Do you think I had a 10lb baby because the Dr. was a month off scheduling my cesarean?0 -

Aren't you the one who brought up elective cesareans? Wasn't my question in response to how common you thought that was? Is that not what you meant?paperpudding wrote: »But didn't I just find an article wherein "...it is estimated that 2.5% of all births in the United States are cesarean delivery on maternal request."?

Isnt maternal request different to medical recomendation?From a Healthline article: Should you schedule an elective C-section?
A scheduled surgery for nonmedical reasons is called an elective cesarean delivery, and your doctor may allow this option. Some women prefer to deliver by surgery because it gives them more control in deciding when their baby is born. It can also reduce some anxiety of waiting for labor to start.0 -
Doesn't this come under language differences? Isn't that article written for Americans?
In Australia an elective caesarian simply means a planned one, not one done for non medical reasons - as opposed to an emergency caesarian ie one done after a problem occurs during labour - so ,no, just on maternal request isn't what I meant.. Does that clarify it for you?0 -
Isn't that interesting? Haven't I personal knowledge of only medical (breech birth, pre-existing medical conditions) and emergency procedures and couldn't imagine choosing (US elective) for non-medical reasons (convenience, a specific date)?0
-
Isn’t it fabulous my midwife and OB gave me full control of choosing vaginal or caesarean birth for my baby estimated at 12 pounds so I could maintain control over my own body?0
-
Aren’t I glad he ended up only a bit over 11 pounds?0
-
Wasn't I a big baby as well, and didn't my mother love me anyway? 😂
(Did I perhaps not fully comprehend her meaning when she said "you're such a pain"?)
((Didn't I add that for comic effect, even though she never said it?)) 😂0 -
I...couldn't imagine choosing (US elective) for non-medical reasons (convenience, a specific date)?
What about the case where my wife worked with our doctor so our youngest daughter could be born the day before my military deployment, so that I could hold her once should the worst happen?1 -

Doesn't that sound like a very specific good reason? And aren't we all happy for you that the worst didn't happen while you were deployed?0 -
Are you all enjoying the Easter break?0
-
Who else is waiting for their family to leave?0
-
Aren't I visiting family, waiting for dessert to be served, after which time I'll happily go home and take a nap?0
-
Didn't the last of my family leave about an hour ago?0

Would you believe I just drank 96 oz. of coffee?0

How could they ever say no with that reasoning? 🥺
