Need urgent advice as only few days left.

Hi All,

I urgently need an answer to this query as I have few days left for my delivery. I know most of you are mothers or have seen many births in your family, so you people must be definitely having much knowledge than me. I am a first time would be mom.

Till now everything is normal in my pregnancy and my due date is 30 Aug. In the first ultrasound due date was 10^th Sep, then 6^th Sep and in the final one it is showing 30^th Aug. I had always wanted to go for normal delivery as everything till now is OK.

Today I had an appointment with my doctor. I was very disappointed by her advice. I had earlier told her that I will always prefer normal delivery. She also told me earlier that she will try her best. Today her tone was different. She seems very eager for caesarean delivery. She advised me that I should wait for a maximum period of two days after my due date i.e 30^th Aug. If nothing happens she will perform a C- sec. She was telling that it's is better if you deliver before 40 weeks, and its dangerous after that. I have seen many women delivering after 8-10 days. In the internet also it says you can wait for a max period of 14 days, as nature knows best what is good for your body.

Why I am concerned is that in India, private hospitals and nursing home always perform C-sec, even if you are capable of delivering normally just for minting more money. This is a very common practice now a days. I am not at all concerned about the money part, I just wanted normally delivery coz it is good both for the mom and baby in the long run. Why we should tamper with nature when everything is fine by the grace of God.

Ladies I want your opinion on this. What should I do and do I have any other option, as I know my doc will also do caesarean without any genuine reason just for the sake of money.

Thanks.
