Im 30wks preg with a girl and she has Gastrochisis. My problem is that these babies tend to be premature 32-36 wks according to the specialist and I still haven’t decided on delivering natural or c-section. They ( being my ob, perinatal specialist and pediatric specialist) all told me that having her natural or c-section has not had any difference. They’ve done studies and having her natural has not damaged her intestines and having a c-section would just mean me being in more pain and subject to more health problems. Of course I want to have her natural but im scared even though they’ve done studies that something could damage her intestines. Im a first time mom.
What would you do in this situation?

of course you want whats best for your baby, and the docs have told you that it’s really up to you, so if it were me, i would go natural, it’s much easier on you so you will be up quicker to see about your baby. think about it, it is the most commonly used method since like 3000b.c. or whatever…anyway, do what you feel most comfy with, either way, everything will be ok, God Bless and goodluck
I am sorry to here this. My doctor was telling me about this at my last appointment and said that babies with this end up just fine.
I understand were you are coming from, I guess I would be scared to. The doctors know best and if they say that it wont hurt her then I am sure they are right. That is a decision that you are going to have to make. What ever makes you comfortable.
I will pray for you and the baby, good luck to you both.
One of my friends had a little girl with the same problem. She had hers natural and as soon as she was delivered the doctors rushed the baby away to do surgery. I can’t suggest anything first hand but good luck!
