Robin, The reason I want to have a scheduled c-section is that I nad
TONS of complications with my first pregnancy (placenta previa & bedrest
for months, I didn't dilate, baby was turned wrong, went into fetal
distress after 15 hours of labor). I don't want to go through all that
again just to have another emergency c-section. I know that no 2
pregnancies are alike and everything, but I was terrified by what I went
through and am only now able to consider having another baby. I know
that VBAC is an option, and I haven't ruled it out. My doctor said I
don't even have to decide until the end of my pregnancy. I am just
trying to figure out what I want to do. I want this adhesion removed.
Why go through one surgery (laparoscopy) and then try to give birth
VBAC, which is a RISK that may result in another EMERGENCY surgery, when
I can just have a scheduled c-section. Ithis adhesion can be removed at
that time, I would be killing 2 brids with one stone.
