caesarian???

[yebo]

better ask for a second opinion. punta ka children's hospital sa banawe, or sa delgado. or why not get info sa internet, google search mo.

pwede normal ang succeeding childbirths kahit na caesarian ang first, or even first and second. old style pa siguro ang ob-gyne ninyo kaya yun ang alam nila, or just don't want the risk, or just want the higher fee. pinsan ko yung wife nya caesarian ang first baby, then normal delivery naman ang second baby. mas malaki pa nga yung 2nd baby nila e.

i have to say that while it is possible to perform a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) following TWO previous C-sections, the risks are so great that mahihirapan kang makahanap ng OB na gagawa nito. note that this has nothing to do with bravado on the part of the OB or of professional fees, rather the concern is with the mother and child's safety. disclaimer lang, i've seen it done, but there are only certain indications for a vaginal birth after TWO previous CS.

also, kung classical incision ang previous CS na ginawa, walang choice. CS na talaga ang kelangang gawin sa mother.

hello!

ask ko lng mga doctors or husbands here na medyo may alam o experience sa topic na ito.

kapag ba sa una na caesarian si mrs eh caesarian din sa susunod na panganganak. ganun ksi yun pinahiwatig nun doctor ni mrs eh.

nun una sya nag caesarian the reason for that is not health problems but yun ayaw lumabas yun bata kahit oras na lumabas---ito ay akin pagkakaintindi dun sa explanation ng doctor.

do you think i should ask for a second opinion?

ang worry ko ksi dito, not really the money but the fact na baka kinukwartahan lng kami kahit na pwede naman mag normal.

if ever, where do i go?
kayo where do you go? may alam ba kayo na ok na doctor?

thnx

you are definitely entitled to a 2nd 3rd 4th opinion (and so on and so forth). that's your right. with regards to CS, if the first delivery is CS, chances are yung 2nd delivery CS na din. may mga pagkakataon na pwedeng i-normal yung 2nd baby after a previous CS (this is called VBAC) but the risks increase for the mother and the child (vs. a normal delivery for a 1st pregnancy). (however, i have to categorically say that can be done safely especially in the hands of an OB who knows what he/she is doing - yun lang its the RISKS that increase - which does not necessarily always translate to outcome.) i can say for a fact na ALL the OB's i know hindi mag-c-CS para lang pagkakwartahan ang pasyente. i know that for some lay people, madaling isipin na i-CS na lang since mas malaki kikitain but it is not like that from a medical point of view. there's medical ethics and peer reviews to contend with. besides, medicine is not a business and does not exist for its own ends. (hmm.. i know madaming magtataas ng kilay sa mga sinulat ko.)

if you want, i can refer you to several OB's. just PM me or text me at 09224846991. magkano na lang ba ang consultation fee kung peace of mind ang paguusapan.

don't be offended pero kung magiging problema ang consultation fee (i know that this is a public forum and madaming nagbabasa ang maaaring mag-react sa "consultation fee"), i can also refer you to a charity hospital. matitingnan din naman dun ang misis mo minus the consultation fee.

yung sa officemate ko , first 2 babies nya CS sa Guam, yung tatlo,diyan na sa Philippines, yung huli , dito sana sa Korea, pero walang maglakas loob na local doctor. Dito, max nila sa CS e dalawa lang daw.

[theveed]

barkada ko 4 lalaki anak CS lahat...

last comment with regads to duration of labor: i'm not familiar with the tsikoteers in this forum and whether the poster is female or male pero if you are female and has a chance to get pregnant and undergo labor, 10 hours of labor is nothing to scoff at. in a study done to try to quantitate the pain of labor, it was found out that labor pain closely approximates the pain from having your leg cut off below the knee (without anesthesia). try that for 10 hours. needless to say, the hormonal and metabolic reactions that ensue following the pain experience places tremendous stress on both the mother and the baby.

[mrpink]

.. in a scale of 1-10 .. 10 being the highest sa pain level .. childbirth rates a 10 .. yung nangyari raw kay John Rambo sa Vietnam only rates an 8 .. i forget kung saan ko nabasa or narinig ito ..

[boydapa]

thnx sa mga nagreply!

sa mga nabasa ko i think di ko na kelangan magpasecond opinion yun na yon. naliwanagan ako sa mga nasabi nyo! thnx tlga! nagbabaka sakali lng naman plano ko ksi idivert yun pera sa panganganak ni mrs sa ibang bagay eh..(gaya ng sa oto--she is gonna kill me for this! hehe) so, since ganun naman pla edi no choice ako kesa marisk pa...

pareho tyo field master october din!

patali ko na rin si misis para last na... sayang gzto ko pa naman marami.. sa iba nlng siguro yun iba... hehe

yun ob nga pla ni mrs ngayon matanda na, batikan na ito sa pagpapaanak tlgang dinadayo ksi kaya dun naman kmi napunta. akala ko lng ksi nangangwarta(sorry for the word) so dun nlng kmi tutal nasimulan na dun, edi dun na tlga.

galing nyo tlga!

[antonmace]

tama yan bro, kung saan sya nauna dun n rin.

[AnuVaYan]

Ako CS ang una kong anak. Sabi ng unang OB ko CS na daw ang mga susunod. Lumipat ako ng OB nung sunod na pangbubuntis ko, kasi medyo traumatic sa akin yung experience ko sa unang hospital.

Yung next na OB ko binigyan ako ng choice kung gusto ko ng CS ulit or normal. Pwede naman daw kasi ang tahi ko nung una ay pa-horizontal (bikini cut tawag ng iba) , mas matibay daw yun kaysa kung patayo(classic cut). Kaso, sa Cardinal yung OB ko, tapos dito kami sa Frisco, I don't want to risk na mag rupture ang tahi ko dahil sa tagal ng byahe/traffic etc. So we've decided na CS na lang ulit kahit na mahal.

Pero the point is, pwede. Ni research ko na rin yun (VBAC). Nga pala, ito magandang site for more info... http//www.babycenter.com, useful for mga what to expect stuff. Saka mga suggestions na rin on lots of things.

hi. clarification lang: the classical incision na patayo refers to the incision on the uterus and not on the skin. so kahit patayo ang incision sa skin kung transverse (or horizontal) naman sa uterus, pwede pa din mag-VBAC. ang kinakatakot mag-rupture is the scar on the uterus kasi catastrophic ito sa welfare ng mom and doubly so sa baby. however, it should be pointed out that there is always the possibility that low transverse segment uterine scars may rupture under VBAC.

yup. tama po yan. kaya nga since malayo ang hospital sa amin, we opted to have a cs delivery, kasi although mas maliit ang possibility kaysa classical incision, pwede pa rin mag rupture. mahirap na.

[OTEP]

Whether your succeeding children will be CS'd, depends on the indication for the initial CS. Kung maliit talaga pelvis ni misis mo (cephalopelvic disproportion), hindi na lalaki iyan sa succeeding pregnancies so talagang CS na. Also, kapag 'classical' ang hiwa sa uterus sa unang CS, talagang CS na ang susunod.

CS is not really a terrible thing. Mas ok pa nga kasi mas mabilis. Wala nang sampung oras na nakahiga sa labor room ang misis mo. Straight to the table. Kung magaling ang OB mo, tapos na agad iyan. If you need a really good OB-GYNE, I would be happy to recommend one for you. Yung OB na nagdeliver saking via CS, practicing pa din.

Most probably CS din ang susunod pag CS ang panganay. Induced si Mrs. kasi her water broke na pero alang signs of labor ntay hanggang d next day eh 5pm na next day pag inintay pa daw lalo eh delikado bata kasi mauubusan ng tubig, kaya CS. May mga nagsabi na after 4 to 5 years ng pagCS pede daw magnormal, kaya lang kelangan mo maghanap ng doctor who's willing to take the risk, kasi may possibility daw na bumuka yung dating tahi ng CS pag nag-normal ka sa pangalawa, naku delikado yun, kasi pag normal birth alang anesthesia na ina-administer. delikado daw nanay. so kung CS din ang pangalawa eh ooperahan yan 1 wk before the due date baka kasi maglabor ng di oras c misis. thru experience lang to 'tol, nde professional.

hi cleave. you're right pero i just have to clarify one point: pwedeng mag-pa-anesthesia ang normal delivery. this is what is referred to as "painless labor and delivery" or what is called "epidural anesthesia." it is very similar to spinal anesthesia. its very safe and the mothers are very comfortable during labor and delivery.

[cutedoc]

see a recommended and kilalang OB, pag CS yung una, the 2nd might be delivered normal with excepetion, consult your OB so he or she could explain further details

[jvdejesus05]

usually cs na rin ang mga susunod na deliveries... as what doc otep had said, may mabilis ang delivery ni misis at walang hirap sa delivery. one thing lang to consider, medyo matagal ang healing process nung incision plus you have to take care of not only the child but also your wife after cs kasi nga fresh pa yung surgical wound nya. dun ngayon lalabas ang pagka-ama at pagiging asawa mo. in my own experience, ganyan ang nangyari samin ni misis with our two children... kagandahan lang, both of us are nurses so we could already anticipate the things that we are supposed to do even dun sa first child namin.
