Why would a DR recommend a C Section?

What are all the reasons a doctor may want to recommend a Cesarean delivery and why(this is not including emergency C-Sections).





Thank you.

Why would a DR recommend a C Section?
Many drs will suggest a cesarean for reasons ranging from previous cesarean births to an ultrasound indicating a big baby to fetal distress as indicated by fetal monitoring





whats important is not really why a dr might recomemnd a cesarean but whether or not it is a legitimat reason





according to this sight there are only a few real reasons to have one

"Q: When is a cesarean absolutely necessary?


A: • Complete placenta previa at term.


• Transverse lie


• Prolapsed cord.


• Abrupted Placenta.


• Eclampsia or severe preeclampsia with failed induction of labor.


• Large uterine tumor which blocks the cervix


• True fetal distress confirmed with a fetal scalp sampling or biophysical profile


• True cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD- baby too large for pelvis). This is extremely rare and only associated with a pelvic deformity (or an incorrectly healed pelvic break).


• Initial outbreak of active herpes at the onset of labor.


• Uterine rupture "

Reply:If the baby is too big. If you have a disease like herpes. If you have had a C-section before. If the baby is turned wrong.
Reply:Breech position, small pelvis or an STD that could be transmitted through the birth canal. Probably if the mother had a heart condition which would cause too much stress on her to go through labour.
Reply:if the woman has been in "labor" for over 72 hours or 3 days and still no sign of progression...esp. if this is happening and she's at least a week overdue, bc the womb and placenta become toxic to the baby after awhile and he or she could die of poisoning.
