I'm given a choice by my obstetrician whether to go for c-sect (LSCS) at 38 weeks of pregnancy or normal delivery since this is our 1st baby after years of marriage. As the doc said, if I go for c-sect, I dont have to wait anxiously especially if the pregnancy is overdue.
So far everything is ok with my pregnancy. Me & the unborn baby are fine. So, I can opt for normal delivery but we can never be sure as anything could happen as the time comes. Basically there are pros & cons for each option.
At 1st, I'm kinda 75% tend to opt for c-sect. My rational is even though I prefer a normal delivery, but I think for this 1st baby, maybe my preference is not that important. The most important thing is the baby is delivered safely when the baby is matured enough at 38 weeks.
However after reading the c-sect experiences by other mommies, terus rasa tak jadi nak go for it. Scary ok. The procedure might be painless at the moment of delivery but I doubt I can stand the pain afterwards. From what I've read, nak batuk & bersin pun sakit. Ada yg take a year to heal. Oh no.
Pendapat D, I should opt for normal delivery 1st & choose for elective c-sect on the due date instead of week 38. I'm tempted to go for elective c-sect on 38 weeks of pregnancy bcos I'd like to deliver the baby on 10/10/11 or 11/10/11. Alang2 elective c-sect kan, pilihlah tarikh yg cantik. Lagipun, if I could wait until my due date for a normal delivery, I think I dont mind to wait for another maximum ~10 days.
So now, I'm kinda 85% sure to wait patiently for the baby to be born naturally. I guess as 1st time parents to be, we're not that anxious. The balance 15% comes from my concern what if I'm actually destined to go for c-sect. If not elective, I might end up going for emergency c-sect. Membaca pengalaman orang yg diseluk beberapa kali, but akhirnya kene emergency c-sect juga adalah menakutkan. Baik pilih c-sect drp awal. Hahaa.. I know that I think & read too much. Blame the GTab, makes browsing & reading so convenient. Oopss.. iklan jap.
Sigh... serba salah pula bila diberi pilihan. I have to inform the doc about my decision during my next checkup which is 2 weeks from now.
Well, I pray to God for the best & hopefully I'll make the correct decision. InsyaAllah. Ameen.
