What type of Cesarean Section scar do you have? What is the benefit of the Micro-Brazilian over the Pfannenstiel and Joel-Cohen. When time permits, I make a Micro-Brazilian on the skin and a Joel Cohen incision through the fascia layers into the pelvis.

Colposcopy done during pregnancy is generally not painful and performed in a way to avoid pain and bleeding. It will generally be repeated after delivery in the traditional way for comparison but may then be more uncomfortable.

I do not recommend attempting a VBAC at home or waiting at home while laboring in order for the hospital and/or doctors to support a VBAC attempt especially with a Previous Cesarean section x2 or more.

In general, at 41 weeks with an unfavorable cervix, I would recommend a repeat Cesarean section. In cases of VBAC, the risks of a failed induction at 41 weeks with an unfavorable cervix is greater than 50%.

If a patient desires to wait for natural labor, I would recommend NST/BPP every 3 days until 42 weeks.

If the patient reaches 42 weeks, I would encourage her to consider her options for a Repeat Cesarean section vs Induction of Labor.

With the assistance of a VBAC advocate the assistance of a VBAC is 85% or higher even with a Previous Cesarean section x1 or x2 with an unfavorable cervix.

As always consider the recommendations of your physician rather than general information.

As a cosmetic OBGYN, I perform Cesarean Sections and at a later date, TummyTuck, Myofascial Plication and repair of diastasis recti. In order to improve the appearance of the abdomen after Cesarean section and reduce the risk of permanent abdominal muscle separation and "post baby belly" I recommend the reapproximation of the abdominal muscles during a Cesarean section. bones 🧟‍♀️

In general, 25% of the US population carries the Herpes Simplex Virus, Type 2, aka ge***al herpes, without knowing it.

HSV Type 1, aka the cold sore, is prevalent in about 75% of the US population.

The clinical markers for exposure and subclinical infection for HSV 1 and 2 are Immunoglobulin M and G.

Past exposure is generally screened by IgG HSV 1 and 2.

Since HSV 1 and 2 are so prevalent, would you still like to know if screening is offered? Especially if you are pregnant???
