Hi all,
I am not TTC (yet) but have been pretty firmly set on having an elective c-section for YEARS already. My aunts and mother and grandmother have all had bad birth experiences that resulted in emergency c-sections, my best friend had such a traumatic birth that a year on she still sees a therapist cos she gets nightmares and flashbacks. Anyways, I won't defend myself- my body, my choice.
Am in Auckland and asked to meet with a private OBYN at Auckland Obstetric (sp?) Care.
YOU MOST CERTAINLY CAN GET AN ELECTIVE C-SECTION IN NZ. 100%
Here's what I learned: It costs $5000. This covers everything - all appointments, scans, the actual delivery and even aftercare where you get home visits each week for a month to see if you/baby are recovering and fine.
It's your choice and you need no medical reason at all. You just need to pay - and you can bet your bottom dollar I have put this money aside already LOL
