A member asked:
Can you demand for a c-section or is it only for emergencies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on doc: Each doctor will answer this question differently. For example, i will not do a cesarean without a real medical indication. Some doctors will do it on request. Other people fall in between. There are major risks to any surgery, and in my mind you can only do whatever minimizes the risk to the patient. Good luck!
