Pregnancy Info HOME

My c-section was performed in Heidelberg, Germany, at the American military hospital - the biggest American hospital in Europe. It was performed by the OIC (Officer in Charge) of the OB/GYN clinic. So - he was definately qualified to perform the c-section. No matter how many c-sections a doctor has performed, it's no guarantee that yours will turn out the way you expect. Granted, mine was an emergency section, not planned; that might make a difference. But, I still have to wonder - are you really willing to commit to maybe never having a vaginal delivery, and the possibility that all future children will have to be delivered by c-section? Because of something you choose to do now? It is your choice...but it's one that you can never change your mind about. You can never undo the scar; it'll always be there, right across your belly. Your abdominal muscles, which are designed to heal from a vaginal delivery, will never return to how they were before they were cut. It is your choice - just be sure you know that it's not all rainbows and butterflies on the other side of the operating room.
