That is why, when we plan your elective c-section we talk about the type of atmosphere you would prefer when the big moment arrives: who you would like to be with you in the room, light conditions, music you want to play to relax or to give extra meaning to the event. We can also talk about how to get the best photos for you of the birth!\u00a0<\/p><p>Many women will choose Caesarean as their preferred birthing method. Even should you go into labour before the planned date for your caesarean, you would still have the opportunity to birth via a c-section as we always have a full team available 24 hours per day 7 days a week just in case. Our team includes an anaesthetist, a paediatrician, surgical and nursing staff to look after you and your baby.<\/p><p>You may hear the term repeat section. It means that you have had a c-section before. So when you are preparing to give birth again this would be called a repeat section as opposed to a VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section).<\/p><p>A VBAC, or attempting a natural birth after you had a c-section before, carries certain risks. That is why at Melbourne Mothers we believe in personalised care. We talk about your history (in particular your pregnancy history) to make sure we have a clear understanding of the risks that may exist. One of the important factors is the reason why you had an earlier c-section. That conversation is important because we can then talk about the likelihood of giving birth naturally in your current situation.<\/p><p>In other words, everything depends on the unique circumstances of your pregnancy. In general, there are several factors that impact the decision as to whether we should trial labour after a c-section or book an elective c-section for you:<\/p><ul><li><strong>The baby\u2019s position.<\/strong> If your baby is positioned so its bottom or feet enter your pelvis &#8211; what we call a breech presentation &#8211; that in itself may be a reason to discuss a caesarean. In general about one in two babies can be turned, and the chances are a bit lower if this is your first pregnancy. If your baby is positioned sideways in your uterus then an elective c-section is usually the safest possible choice.<\/li><li><strong>The placenta position<\/strong> is another part of the puzzle. If it is positioned low in your uterus, there is a risk of heavy bleeding when you are in labour. As your obstetric team, we focus on your baby\u2019s health and your own safety, and that is why the position of your placenta may be the starting point of a conversation about elective c-section. Most placentas that lie low at 20 weeks will \u201cmove out of the way\u201d by the late third trimester.<\/li><li><strong>Twins<\/strong> are another reason to discuss an elective caesarean. Obstetricians have different attitudes toward vaginal twin delivery and again, everything depends on your unique babies, your pregnancy and your body. We discuss the pros and cons, and have a regard for the type of twins and their growth. We can then make an informed decision together about how best to have your babies.<\/li><li><strong>The size of your baby<\/strong> will be another aspect of the conversations we will have as you consider a natural birth or a c-section. When you are told that you have a very large baby, one thing to bear in mind is that pregnancy ultrasounds have a certain error margin. In other words, your baby may be smaller than what you are told. But then again, we focus on your wellbeing and your baby\u2019s safety, and if we know for a fact that you have a big baby, we may talk about doing a c-section or having a baby a little earlier when the baby is that little bit smaller.<\/li><li><strong>Preference<\/strong> is at play too. Some mums simply prefer a c-section because they feel more in control or feel very stressed at the thought of giving birth vaginally. Our role here at Melbourne Mothers is to genuinely listen to your feelings around delivery methods. Once you have received all the personalised information, you can make an empowered quality decision.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6bf3b0f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6bf3b0f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Emergency c-section<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66ad10d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"66ad10d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>An emergency c-section is unplanned. When your obstetrician identifies an obstacle during labour or before you go into labour, your delivery method could change and an emergency surgical procedure is then the only option.\u00a0<\/p><p>It means that <strong>the emergency<\/strong> itself is the main indicator. If your labour doesn\u2019t progress, or if there is an obstruction, the safest way to deliver your baby might be via c-section. Similarly, if your baby\u2019s health is in danger, immediate delivery can save their life. Our role as obstetricians is always to respect your preferences, but also to make the call and act with your own and your baby\u2019s safety in mind.<\/p><p>If your baby is in <strong>distress<\/strong>, our birth suite team will pick up the signals early on. For example, meconium-stained liquor in your amniotic fluid indicates that your baby has done a poo and it is one of the indications that your baby may be stressed. If we see abnormal heart rate patterns, again, as your obstetrics team, we sometimes have to make the call and change the plan into an emergency c-section.<\/p><p><strong>Bleeding before labour<\/strong> is a reason to choose the safest way and abandon the plan for a vaginal birth. It\u2019s called an antepartum haemorrhage and it can happen if your placenta is positioned abnormally or if it starts coming away from the uterine wall.<\/p><p>There are many reasons why an emergency c-section may be needed to ensure the safety of the mother or baby. This is why all our obstetric units have ready access to the operating room and a team of dedicated professionals at the ready for you and your baby.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f138a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2f138a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Maternally assisted c-section<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0b231c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b0b231c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A maternally assisted caesarean section is a beautiful option for mothers who want to be actively involved in the caesarean delivery of their baby.

Some term vaginal birth as natural birth simply because that is how they feel nature intended things to be. For many women, vaginal delivery is an absolute preference. If that is the case for you, we will work towards it, which may involve birthing classes, education on methods to maximise your chances of vaginal birth and instrumental delivery.. But remember: our focus is always to deliver your baby safely.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-2a76751a elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile neg-margin elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2a76751a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-28aaf548\" data-id=\"28aaf548\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-763efa16 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"763efa16\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&#8220;Many people focus on the delivery day even early into their pregnancy journey.
