Cesareans: The Who, What, When, Why, and How
Picture this: you’re 34 weeks pregnant and your OB confirms via ultrasound that your baby has yet to settle into the head down birthing position. They start talking to you about ways to get baby to move and tell you that if your little one is not locked and loaded by 36 or 37 weeks, they will need to schedule a cesarean to “get you on the books.” If your plan is for a vaginal birth, you begin to panic a little, since you have not planned for a cesarean birth in any way whatsoever.
