Last time I was at the prenatal clinic, the doctor said that the Ministry of Health decided that if you had a C-section before, it's not an indication for another C-section, and that you should try to give birth vaginally. I wonder if that's true? Besides having had a C-section before and thyroid hormone issues, I have nothing else. My doctor believes these aren't indications for a C-section and that I can give birth vaginally. I don't want a vaginal birth. How can I make sure I get a C-section?
Девочки, подскажите, пожалуйста: если начнутся роды, вызываешь скорую или едешь сама? И если скорая…

That's right, it's not an indication. And I think that's a good thing.

Arrange things with the doctor at the maternity hospital. Yes, a "1" now isn't a sentence for future pregnancies.

Well, that's really not an indication 🤷️

You have the right to insist on a C-section because you already have a scar. Also, the decision isn't up to your OB/GYN, but the hospital.

This is my first C-section, so I'm hoping for a C-section again for the second one.

Yes, about 8 years ago the Ministry of Health issued such a recommendation. With each C-section, the risks of bleeding and maternal death during surgery increase, and they try to make it safer.
Based on what you've written, you truly don't have indications for a C-section; not every doctor will take that risk.

At Sechenov, they don't wait or induce labor for three days; they go straight for a C-section. And yes, the percentage of babies with asphyxia is much lower there. But deliveries at Sechenov are paid, and they don't take just anyone without a residence permit or citizenship.

Ultimately, it's all up to YOUR discretion after your first C-section. They can't force you.

I was told the same thing. I shouldn't be induced with a scar. If labor doesn't start, I'll have a C-section. When I was admitted, they examined me and took tests. They checked my pelvis. My scar turned out to be stable. They didn't find any reason for a C-section. My first birth was an emergency C-section due to breech presentation, water breaking, and no labor.

Marina My first birth was planned as a vaginal delivery, but since I was already 40.5 weeks and had no signs of labor, and there was too much amniotic fluid, they decided on a C-section. I want a C-section for my second birth too, I don't want to risk the scar, the baby, or myself.

Pneumonia can be a consequence of swallowing meconium, which is what happened to me.
Regarding paid delivery, meaning a contract – that’s what I indicated, they probably didn’t read it carefully.)

Yuliya My doctor at the women's clinic said I'd definitely have a C-section after two previous ones, but at the hospital, they let me try for a vaginal birth, saying there were no indications for a C-section.

I'm not trying to be negative, just stating facts: right now, the vast majority of city maternity hospitals are set up for vaginal births. Sechenov doesn't even belong to the city. Everything you've written here is exclusively about paid services. Nobody will perform a C-section without medical indication for free.

It was wrong again. The amniotic fluid was green with meconium, the baby was suffocating and pooped. Even though the fluid and tests were clear)

Yeah, and asphyxia just happened out of nowhere)

What's the dispute about? There's no question about mandatory health insurance specifically, the question is how to avoid a vaginal birth. If you had a vaginal birth, that's great, but if a woman wants a C-section and it's her choice alone, there are options, and I've mentioned them, not bragged about them). With the note, apparently specifically for you, "BY CONTRACT", yes, that means it's paid. And whether to give birth under mandatory insurance or by contract is also everyone's choice, just don't get into a demagogic discussion about it, please.

Not just a triple wrap, but over 12 hours with no water.

Yuliya They might allow it, but you have the right to insist on a C-section.

Yuliya It wasn't insisted upon. There were no indications, and that was it. I had to get clever during labor.
