Arrived at the hospital. They examined me and said it's better for me to give birth naturally. I explained that I'm scared—especially since the baby is large, over 4 kg, and I still have a fresh scar from my previous C-section. They said it's not an indication for a C-section. I'm already starting to get nervous.
Ladies, who has given birth recently, can you tell me about the situation with manicures? Are they a…

If the scar is normal, there's no indication for a C-section.

No indication for a C-section?

They are their own doctors here, and they don't care what anyone tells them.

Irina Vishnyakova I had no idea this was necessary. I asked my doctor, and they said they'd ask me before doing anything. This time, I asked the doctor at the screening about the birth options. They told me, 'Of course, you have all the indications for a C-section, so don't even worry about it.' I didn't worry either and went in with the intention of having a C-section. But then they started scaring me, saying it's a difficult surgery, very complicated...

You need a formal diagnosis, not just words 😕

Wow, I didn't know that. If I had known, I would have definitely pushed for that conclusion.

Irina Vishnyakova So the doctor forgot to give you a referral for a C-section?

Irina Vishnyakova She might have just deliberately not given it, I don't know. But she assured me that I would go to the clinic.

1 A uterine scar is not an indication for a C-section

Yulenka a fresh tear and a big baby who could rip that suture apart in an instant.

I was scheduled for a C-section weeks in advance with one scar, but ended up delivering vaginally, and everything went great. The main thing is that they asked me how I wanted to deliver. Now, in my 4th pregnancy, I have the same single scar from a C-section, but this time the placenta is attached to the front wall, and there's no discussion of a vaginal birth.

So after the holidays, I'll insist on it because my health and my baby's health are important right now. Just exposing ourselves to danger like this is scary.

Yulenka The condition of the scar is monitored via ultrasound. If it were not viable, it would be an indication for a C-section.

Oh no, I think they want to pee on your hand!

Yulenka The ultrasound couldn't identify the scar because I wasn't even told that I needed a full bladder to see it.

Olga I saw on the wall that they offer paid services. I thought maybe I'd need something. It says that a scheduled C-section due to medical reasons costs 30,500 thousand rubles. I was shocked, like, what is this? I read the section a couple more times, and yes, it's written exactly like that.

Olga That's why they say that, because paid KCS... kids

Kondrateva Ekaterina I find it all strange. I need to find the head doctor and discuss this with them. There are many doctors like this now who are either for natural births no matter the indications, or for breastfeeding no matter how difficult it is.

Olga Of course, go to the head doctor. They are so out of it. After my first C-section, they asked me how I wanted to give birth. I chose a C-section, but mine was an emergency via ambulance.

So, please write a refusal for epidural. If you have a scar on your uterus, you will have to choose either a refusal of epidural or consent.

Yulenka Ultrasound isn't very informative for checking the scar; it might look thin yet be strong, or vice versa. An MRI will give a more accurate picture.

Stand your ground and say you want to refuse the epidural. It's your right. Don't worry, everything will be okay.

Are you at the Komvuzovsky?

Yulenka You've had ultrasounds multiple times... how could they not check the scar? It's unlikely that happens at all. I also have mine constantly monitored.
If you're not set on a vaginal birth and insist on a C-section, that's your right.

Yulenka I know that all too well, I have a scar myself and I'm familiar with all those regulations

Yulenka Then your comment isn't clear, or you didn't read the post carefully.

Yulenka Well, my scar ruptured. The ultrasound showed it was 2.3mm, and they also said I could deliver vaginally. An MRI showed it was 0.9mm. I wouldn't have tried to deliver vaginally even with a good scar.

Yulenka So now they're excising the existing scar, performing metroplasty. I've had 2 C-sections, but only 1 scar.
