Any doctor can refuse to do any non-emergency medical procedure. Also most good doctors will not do a c-section with no reason as it is a violation of medical ethics. C-sections have risks to both mom and baby and without a legitimate medical need they have no benefit.

You are interested in an elective c-section. You should speak to your Doctor at your next visit. Most Doctors will perform this procedure. The Doctor will spend time with you explaining the risks and then usually leave it up to you.
The most important thing you can do is talk to the Doctor right away. If this is a physician who will not perform elective c-sections, then you should still have time to change to another practice. Usually, the Doctor will recommend a practice that performs them.
This is a matter of choice, not a matter of stupidity. As long as you are educated about the process and the risks, then it should be fine.

Most doctors will not do a c-section unless it is medically necessary. As far as your insurance covering it, you would have to call and ask. I would assume it would be considered elective so therefore not covered. The cost of a c-section(along with the risk) is so much higher I can't see why any insurance company would be happy to cover it when it's not needed.

i'd desire to by no ability discover myself in a situation the place i mandatory a c-area. Failure to progression is uncommon in a organic hard paintings, it many times in basic terms occurs in an brought on hard paintings. As i'd by no ability elect an induction till there grow to be a valid scientific reason (not in basic terms submit due) then I have not have been given any concerns approximately that. I take care of myself, I income the cautioned volume of weight, I decide for drug unfastened, low intervention births, frequently all to steer away from pointless problems. I actually have a great way too many friends who went in for an brought on, habitual transport and ended up with a c-area. If I have been in hard paintings, and it grow to be a genuine emergency i'd elect a c-area over my choose for a organic delivery. yet I mean truly mandatory. twine prolapse, hemorrhage, sustained deceleration, or different severe difficulty. Failure to progression is, for my area, a Dr. attempting to conceal his butt after he has intervened too plenty and confusing paintings has stalled. turn off the pitocin, turn off the epidural, and get out of the mattress and walk around. hard paintings will restart on that's very own ultimately, as long because of the fact the toddler is tolerating hard paintings and the mum has not had her water break (and that i'd by no ability, ever enable the Dr. to interrupt my water!) there is no danger of an infection, so no actual time line for hard paintings. base line is, I even have faith in my physique, i understand what the hard paintings technique is, i'm properly knowledgeable on what's secure and what isn't, so barring any freak emergency i visit steer away from c-area.

Why in the world would you want a c-section unless it is necessary? Any good doctor will only do a c-section in a emergency or other health reasons when it is in the Mothers best interest. So, Good luck with that.

It depends on the doctor. Usually, a doctor won't do surgery unless it's necessary. If you don't need a c-section, why would you get one? I've had two and believe me the recovery time and everything else is much worse than the natural way.
But, if you need to have a c-section- then you need to have one. Hospitals can't turn you away or fail to provide needed care just on your inability to pay.

Please don't have a c-section unless you have too! I had 2 vaginal births and 1 c-section. It took me a long time to lose weight and the that big tummy. I tell everyone that I know to try to avoid c-section if possible. It is very painful after delivery and I recovery fast with the vaginal births. I know everyone is different but try to have the baby vaginal.
Congrats and Good Luck!

why in the world do you want a c-section????
there are sooooo many risks with one.
i have just straight kaiser, and my doctor thinks my baby is going to be big, and there is a possibility that i will need a c-section, i am terrified of it! im baffled that some people are so eager to jump on the operating table.
most doctors will not do one unless medically necessary!

Yes, doctor's don't generally perform c-sections unless medically necessary. It's a major surgery and all the risks are applied. I don't think insurance plays a factor in it at all.

This is true if it's not an emergency or if the woman is not capable of delivering natural then the doctor will perform a c-section.
