What percentage of births in the US are C-sections performed?
I had a stillbirth last year, August 11, 2008, a full term healthy baby girl, cause unknown. In the US, research shows 1 in about a 115 results in stillbirth. A little under 1% of all births. Although it sounds uncommon, it is all too common. More research needs to be done on the causes.
who told you to do that? not a dr or nurse i am sure. in later months of pregnancy is you squeeze your nipples, milk will come out, but not before you have even missed your firs period. just take a pregnancy test.
How many c section's can you have?
As many times as you can handle the pain, they are cutting through muscle, creating a lot of scar tissue, it would be difficult to continue to repeat the process, but it's do-able..
It really depends person to person, take into consideration how many you have had, how many children you have had, and how necessary it is.
Can you have a fifth c-section with out any complications?
I have has 4 c-sections and with the last one I was told we do not want to be doing this again. wall was so thin that they could hardly sew it back together. My DR. said it was paper thin. Also I had so much scar tissue that the doctor had a very hard tome getting thru to the baby. I lost soo much blood that I was falling asleep on the table and could not make heads or tails of what people were saying to me during the surgery. I thought I was going to die. I have just found out that despite all I am pregnant. I am scared to death, I dont know what is worse for me and the the baby. abortion or 5th C-section. I do not want to leave the world and leave mu 4 children.
This actually happened to me along with extreme swelling of my legs. I believe it was postpartum preclampsia. It will go away it took meds and about 3 weeks to get better.

Is it against the law for the doctors to do a cesarean section 2 weeks early?
Answer: It is NOT against the law to deliver a baby via c-section two weeks early. The reason is because, in most states, after 36 weeks a baby is considered full-term (some doctors may consider full-term to be 37 weeks). This is because there may be a week or two lee-way on the due date. Please remember that c-sections are only done when they absolutely have to be performed to ensure the health of both baby and mother. No it is not against the law to do a ceasarean two weeks early, the safety of the mother and child come fist.

How do you get rid of your mid section tummy?
It's simpler than you might think: burn more calories than you eat. But, don't do so by starving yourslef--you will lose muscle, and you might even end up with a higher bodyfat %. You need to aim for around 500 less cals/day consumed while maintaining the same level of calories being burned (search "BMR" for an idea of how many calories you might burn in a day).
This will result in 1-2 pounds per week of fat loss (even better than weight loss in most cases). It's a little slower than some would want, but it's the highest safe/healthy rate of loss.

Is it normal to have heavy bleeding and clotting 5 weeks after c-section and tubal ligation?
If you are having heavy bleeding that long after birth, you are doing too much. Climb into bed with your baby, and don't do anything for a few days but nurse and rest. Stay hydrated, and eat well (lots of protein). Keep off your feet, and ask friends and relatives to help with household chores for a couple more weeks.
If after a day or two of staying off your feet and getting lots of rest the bleeding doesn't lighten up, you will need to see your doctor.
NOTE: If you are not breastfeeding, it is possible to have your first period this soon after delivery. The first period after delivery can be heavier than normal. But it should lightenvup after a couple of days, as a regular period would.
