<description>Yup. And many women do not do that here. And the doctors also, I notice, get all prickly when you ask them too many questions.</description>

<description>Sujatha, I understand the wariness of most urban pregnant couples nowdays. My cousin had a C-section the first time round and her OB-GYN told her that she would be better off if she had an C-section the second time round too.

Her&#039;s was a healthy pregnancy and I did not enlighten her to the fact that it was okay for her to try for a &#039;normal&#039; delivery as my doc had told me.

She anyways wasnt too sold on going through labor pains etc so I just let the matter be. 

But that incident made me realize that we should not blindly trust the doctors and its our perogative to ask questions.</description>

<description>Thanks for letting me know Deepti. I was asking because I have a friend in Bangalore who&#039;s already been told that given her previous case history (although she had a normal delivery last time) she would have a C-Section if that same condition reccurred this time around.

<description>Sujatha, I had my first in Texas and the other in Wisconsin.

If you were living in Delhi I could have suggested some good doctors as my sister&#039;s mother in law is a OB-GYN. </description>

<description>TM and Deepti, thank you for your comments.

TM, yes, that is all to common and, I agree with you, sad. When I had my son, I was with an OB/GYN practice that had 5 doctors. Patients rotated among the five doctors on each of their visits so that the doctors and patients got familiar with each other (because you never knew which doctor would be on call on the day you went into labor). It worked great. And the doctor on call was in no rush b/c that was his/her job that day/night.

Deepti, yup, you were lucky. If you don&#039;t mind me asking, did you have your babies in Bangalore? If you did, could you tell me the name of the doctors? Would be good to know. You can send me an e-mail to the address on my blog. Thank you Deepti.</description>

<description>Guess I was lucky. My OB-GYNs on the two separate occasions refused to do a C-section though I kept demanding it while I was delivering.

They were quite indulgent. I remember my first OB-GYN actually cracked a joke that they didnt perform C-sections on Thursdays.

<description>A very valid point - I know doctors who would plan C-section on all those patients who appear for delivery at night.  They come back from a party at around 11:00 perform back-to-back operations on all patients and go home for a good nigths sleep.  they never wait for normal delivery.  Sad</description>
