I regret not asking for a c-section explicitly. Coming from a traditional south-indian background I hesitated electing a c-section beforehand, trusting the doctor will take the best decisions based on the situation. I was wrong. The doctor pushed it too far and my baby had to be NICU-ed for a couple of days and even worse, I still have PTSD witnessing the trauma my spouse had to go through.
I should have simply listened to my intuition and asked for c-section upfront.
- stef25 4y agoPerhaps your doc made the wrong call but people without medical knowledge shouldn't be making medical decisions either.
- kaybe 4y agoWhat did your spouse want? Was she out of commission? If you're not the one giving birth and not the responsible doctor it's not your call to make, is it?
- IvanaSays 4y agoThank you. Seriously I could not believe that was written by a man.
- lewisjoe 4y agoShe was in the same state of mind. We both left it to the doctor to decide. And that turned out to be a poor choice.
