Question 1

sauna/steam room after c section
how long should i wait?

Accepted Answer

Sauna: Wait until fully ambulating without pain and wounds are are healing well

Question 2

can i refuse a c-section?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You have unlimited negative right (ie the right to refuse any treatment.)

if you are feeling the need to refuse a cesarean, make sure you understand why someone is recommending one.  You may be refusing something that would be in your or your infants best interest.

Many things can be done to reduce the likelihood of needing a cesarean, but some cesareans will be necessary despite all measures.

Question 3

can i demand a c-section?

Accepted Answer

Yes: As long as you understands all the risks associated with a cs and your ob/gyn is willing to perform it, you can ask for it and most physicians will comply.

Question 4

can i ask for a c-section?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can ask, but if your exam shows your pelvis to be adequate for vaginal delivery, your provider should kindly refuse your request. The risk to both you and baby are increased in c-section, and they should be reserved for medical reasons only.

Question 5

recovery food from c-section ?

Accepted Answer

The same as food: After any surgery.  Start with fluids then advance as tolerated to soft foods then a regular diet. No other special dietary instructions need.

Question 6

what's the risk of having your 5th c- section?

Accepted Answer

Ask your OB: Any answer to this question here on health tap will be pure speculation. We do not know what types of incisions your c-sections have been, what the healing is like, nor do we know what your OB recommended (i believe most would have recommended no more pregnancies!). This is a question to ask the doctor caring for you in person.

Question 7

is a c-section always necessary with multiples?

Accepted Answer

No: Cesarean's are needed for certain positions of babies.  Usually if there are three or more, at least one of the babies will be in the wrong position for a vaginal delivery.  If the babies are early, a cesarean may be needed to protect the brain.  However, if there are just two babies, close to term and they are both in the right position, a vaginal delivery may be possible. Talk to your doctor.

Question 8

what number of kids can you have by c section.?

Accepted Answer

No limit: There isn't a hard and fast  limit to the number of children you can have by c/section; I've seen women have 5-6 c/sections without difficulty.  However, repeated c/sections do increase some of the risks of pregnancy so its best to consult with your Ob at your specific case.

Question 9

which is better c - section or infused delivery?

Accepted Answer

Too little info: I presume you mean induced delivery. There are various reasons why a C-section or an induced delivery may be undertaken. Difficult to comment without knowing the full circumstances

Question 10

how is the date of my planned c-section determined?

Accepted Answer

Mature baby: First question is when is the best time for fetal maturity.  Second question is what is the safest time for mother and last question should be about convience for pt family or dr.  Hopefully all can be safely met.  Most drs. Agree, after 39 completed weeks.
