C-sections

[Serap]

I think you are right about this Serap, when I had my daughter my doctor did say that epidurals do slow down labor if they are given before the woman is dilated (well on the number my doctor said a different number but is close) at least 6 cm. He said that after 6 is very unlikely that the epidural causes any significant slow down. Because of this information I waited until seven cm to get the epidural and my daughter was born within one hour vaginally. I thought it was amazing because I had zero pain and after the epidural everything went very good.

A woman should also ALWAYS know her “Bishop” score before attempting an induced labor.

I haven’t read the whole thread, but wanted to add that I have had 6 c sections. My first daughter presented breech, and after an attempted VBAC with the second (his head was too big to deliver), I’ve had to deliver all my kids that way.

Was/is medical advice against that number of c-section deliveries?
