What are the advantages of having a planned cesarean?


There are pros and cons to every situation. Some people consider it an advantage to birth surgically since there is time to plan the events. This means you can choose the date of delivery (unless your baby arrives early). For those who fear labor pains they don't have to endure it; you simply arrive at the hospital and the steps leading up to the procedure will be conducted in an orderly way. You are spared of the 'vaginal interrogation' done routinely for women in labor to measure dilation. Finally with a planned c-section your partner will be able to be with you during the operation.
