Dr. Kevin Daus answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Argue?/Dicuss?: I don't have all the information but i think a discussion is a better word. There are reasons people need c/s's and it sounds like someone really feels you need one. If you have a very large baby and the chance of a shoulder dystocia is great, then the person wanting you to have the c/s may be concerned because liability..
