When is YOUR Cesarean Scheduled?
By Danell Swim
March 22, 2008
True story: I had the misfortune of bad timing the other day in the bathroom at the UWS Loews Theater, overhearing a brief conversation between two very pregnant women. The conversation went something like this:
“When are you due?”
“March 20th, but I’m having my c-section on the 18th.”
“I’m having a c-section on the 23rd. Why are you having a c-section?”
“Well, at 37 weeks, the baby was already 7 pounds 13 ounces and my doctor said ‘I wouldn’t put you through labor with a baby that big’.”I left after that. Shocked by what I heard, I headed back to the theater and proclaimed to my husband, “I know what my next blog entry will be about.”
