Ok, please excuse this question if it is silly...
... I am only 18 weeks pregnant and, so far, have no compications with this, my first, pregnancy. I fully expect to have a normal delivery, but I appreciate that sometimes you cannot control it and end up having an CS...
Have just got back from a weekend with the in-laws and my (rather nutty) mother-in-law was interrogating me about my obstetric care I will receive... Part of what she was asking included how the Obstetricians tend to do CSs at the hospital that I am going to. I could not really answer - I am on "shared care" rather than straight "Consultant care" - I assume that the Obstetrician (I will have the on-call one present at the birth, not a chosen one) will do whatever is appropriate...
Is that normally a transverse CS these days? Does it vary? Is it worth having a "request" for a transverse cut (if necessary) in my Birth Plan (and get my husband to voice that request if necessary)?
Thanks and, again, my apologies if it was a silly question...
