She was due in December and from the pictures it looked like she was ready to pop any minute. But still, I’m surprised her OBGYN agreed to this without any medical reasoning for it. Again, assuming this is true.
I have heard people having scheduled C-section in India in last couple years. If the due date is falling close to someone’s Bday or anniversary in the family, they schedule it on the same day. Like I know Baby girl scheduled to deliver on her parents anniversary.
In India, last 10 years or so, doctors literally made C-section a business. They would scare patients last minute that c-section is must and patient in panic would agree. Coz normal delivery can’t be charged at high rate. C-section is charged more and patient has to be in the hospital for couple days more for the recovery. Minting money.
Now the situation is, even patients have been comfortable with c-section. Everyone has accepted it. I have heard ladies say, I don’t wanna go thru labor pain so I will just ask my doc to cut it.
Surprising for the west coz here doc will try till last minute to go for normal. But in India, Schedule C-section has become a norm.
