C-Section question?

If your mother needed a C-Section with all of her babies because they were breech, and her mother needed a C-Section with all three of hers.. and your husbands mother needed a C-Section because of failure to progress.. would that mean YOU are more likely to need a C-Section when you get pregnant?





Interesting question I think.. dont know if it could be a genetic or hereditary thing

C-Section question?
My mom had a C-section with all four of her kids because her cervix wouldn't dilate. That is a genetic thing, so I am more likely to have that problem. I don't think breech babies would be a genetic issue.
Reply:No! Every woman, every womans body is different. When I was a meer 11 yrs. old I had to have a physical. Well my reg. doctor was not available. There that day was an old foagie of a doctor that was really old school! Anyways he made a comment about how I had good "birthing hips" %26amp; was over developed for my age. Well, needless to say I had a complex about my figure from then on for years. Anyways years later I had my first son at age 23. C-sectioned baby he was breech here. And my great birthing hips didnt want to seperate for him to flip over. Then years later I had to have an emergency C-section (He was a 10lb. 7oz. baby boy), too big to fit outa them "great birthing hips" yet again. And now just 9 weeks ago, I had another baby C-sectioned. His cord was wrapped around his neck. But that was no hip issue there. For the first time. lol Well when I had my first I really wanted to go back to that doc. %26amp; tell him what a crock of sh%26amp;* he said back all those years back, %26amp; what a complex I had thanks to him. So, guess he was wrong, as well as my mother had me in 7 hours. So, who knows what you will have. Its up to your body not everyone elses. Or genetics even!!! (I am the first in my line to have had C-sections!!)


Hope this gave ya a laugh there as well as some insight! Take care %26amp; have a nice day!
Reply:Try to spend more time with your head farther forward than your butt. Positions like those used scrubbing the floor can help the baby move into position.
Reply:There are exercises that you cans do the last few weeks to work the baby into the right position. I am sure if you ask a doctor he can tell you if not get a hold of a midwife.
Reply:I do not think just because your mother, mother in-law, or grandmother had C-Sections you will have to have one. It depends on your uterus, body type, size of your baby and the such. My mother didn't, or grandmother, or great grandmother didn't. I did on my third one. I do not know if genetics play a factor or not. I just know by experience and all of my friends. I wish you luck, if you are pregnant don't worry about something that has not happened yet. My wishes to you.
Reply:No, the rate or frequency of c-sections has nothing to do with heredity or genetics.





My mom had me normally, but I could end up needing a c-section because of a variety of different reasons...the most common being the baby won't fit. (However, I've got incredibly wide set hips and don't see that happening!)





Now, if you are framed small...your likelihood of c-section goes up. If you have gestational diabetes, genital herpes, a heart condition...or any biological factor, your risk of a c-section goes up.
Reply:Possibly. Thye do say that in order tog et some sort of an idea on how your pregnancys will be that you should look at your mother. My grandmother has 8 kids all delivered without the help of epidurals or pain meds. My mother has 2 kids (myself included) no pain meds. I do not have any kids yet but I am hoping I have the balls to carry on the no pain meds needed!!!! :) In terms of c sections my husbands sister needed a c section and so did my sisters mom so I think the history of our mothers and grandmothers and great grand mothers play a part in it. good luck if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant xoxo
