When to discuss with gynae about birth options?

cluelessmummy · 25-01-2008, 03:22 PM

When did you and your gynae start talking about your birthing options e.g. use of epidural, booking of anaesthetists etc?

My last appt was at 30 wks, and I still haven't talked to my gynae about all these yet. Next appt is at 34 wks. Is that too late?

for me, i don't think so. i think next appt is just nice or maybe wait till you 36weeks also can ^^

When i change my 2nd gynae i already mention to him on the 1st appt which i was 28wks pregnant tt i wanna opt for c-section but he hope i reconsider n make decision by 32-34wks.

But I think decision make nearer to due date is better cos it'll not be expensive?

mine told me to make decision when I was 6mths preg so when I was having my mild contraction then doc change to ceaseran cos I dilating too slow..in the end I pay for both natural & ceaseran...

huh? yah lor..why must you pay for both? shldn't u pay only for what you used in the end?

thanks for all your replies. guess i'm not exactly too late. I didn't go for antenatal classes, so don't have a birth plan either. maybe I'm too jin zhang, but I just thought that this kind of thing should at least have some sort of discussion ard 30-32 wks, just in case the baby comes out earlier. otherwise, if that happens, I'll be totally clueless what to do.
