I have all these doubts about my c-sec done 4 years back. My LMP ws on 18th Dec, and I had irregular periods before that. I was on medication to get pregnant, and so can say for sure that I conceived on 31st Dec. I was told that my due date was Sep 25. Nothing happened till Sep 28th. Then I was told to come in to be induced. They put a vaginal gel in (no records as to what it was), and in a couple of hours, I could see my uterus contracting, but no pain. Doc kept checking for dilation, and said that there wasn't anything happening in 4 hours. Immediately I was scheduled for a c-sec, saying that since I was 'overdue', trying for a vaginal delivery MAY result in fetal distress.
I have been doing a lot of reading now, since am expecting my second baby in oct, and would like to try a vbac, and am truly wondering why my doc didn't try anything else. Was she hasty in going for a c-sec? Any ideas?
