How far dilated do I have to be for them to do the c-section?
I'm scheduled for a c-section for tomorrow, but because of the lack of movement from the baby and consistent contractions, I came to the hospital to check on baby, and if I'm in active labor.
They can do a c section at any stage of labour but obviously the further into labour you are, the riskier a c section is. I had an emergency c section with my firstborn and I was 9cm dilated when I had to go for it and it was relatively straightforward as baby hadn’t moved into the birth canal yet.
