"Frederick was set to arrive later in July, but he decided he wanted to come a little early (the day before big brother Samuelâs birthday!), so we had our planned C-section a bit before originally planned." Jill's blog post makes it sound like the c-section was moved up because she went into labour, technically that would make it an emergency c-section wouldn't it?
I'm not an OB/GYN, so I don't know what the exact definition of an "Emergency CâSection" is, but it certainly doesn't sound like it was an emergency. Sounds like Jill had been planning to deliver via CâSection, and that it was scheduled for a particular date, but then it got moved up for some reason. Maybe she went into laborâbut, it really could've been any number of things. It doesn't sound like she labored for awhile and, during labor, urgently and unexpectedly had to have a CâSection, which is what I think of as an "Emergency CâSection."
Also, I find this Ask kind of funny. What's the interest is making her delivery so dramatic? She has a history of difficult deliveries, but it sounds like everything went fine this time! Thank God!
Iâm in Australia so it might be different here but if an elective c-section is moved up because of a pressing issue (such as going into labour) it becomes an emergency one, emergency here just means that itâs not scheduled.
At least thatâs the way it was explained to me when I booked mine in for my second pregnancy. I asked about what would happen if I went into labour before the scheduled date and the response was that theyâd do an emergency c-section.
