It depends on the dr... but normally yes if you dont have complications most expect it to be a natural birth..

My only birth child was a c section...I almost died trying to have it naturally. However a natural birth is the thing to do if you can...You would never dream what the hospital was like 34 years years ago in the interior where we lived...lol...Glad I was so young and did not know what I know now...

Where I come from they don't like you to have natural births after c-sections. They really pushed more c-sections. When we moved here I was surprised at the options.

I am 32 weeks along now. I have been having contractions the last couple of days. I finally got it checked out. Looks like I am having practice contractions. This friday, we set the date for a c-section. Kind of amazing when you can pick your own babies birthday!

on my second visit my dr asked me to plan the c-section (he gave me a few dates to pick from). i thought it was way too soon for that. when i went to the next visit, he had already scheduled it for me...lol i like it planned. that way, everyone can be there. my in-laws live 1 1/2 hours away, so it works out well for them.

I had a strange experience last week. I was driving on the freeway when I lost my sight completely in my right eye and was seeing blue spots in my left. I quickly got on back roads and was just going to pull over. Then I decided I better just head for the emergency room. After 25 minutes my sight started to come back. By the time that got me into the exam room 30 minutes later my sight went again this time for almost 2 hours. Then my sight started to come back slowly. I have my peripheral vision, but my center vision is gone, with the exception of one spot in the middle. They don't expect me to get all of my sight back.

I had an eye stroke due to an ocular migraine. This is a very rare occurrence and the eye doctor I saw hadn't saw it in his 23 years of practice. The odds of this happening again are like lighting striking twice in the same place.

Ocular migraines are common for pregnant women due to the hormonal changes.
