c-section or vaginal w/resected septum? (late loss, preg. ment.)

[Guest guest]

Hi Ladies--

I would love some advice. I am now 19 weeks pregnant with #2 (#1 was

my loss, in which I delivered vaginally @37 weeks). I am starting to

think about whether I will try to deliver this baby vaginally or have

a c-section. In either case I will only be going to 38+ weeks (g-d

willing). I delivered my other baby with relative ease, but since

then I have had resection surgery. I wonder if this makes me at

higher risk for problems (i.e. uterine rupture) during labor. Also,

can a septate (or formerly septate) uterus be less effective at

contracting, etc.?? Generally, I just want advice/opinions on the

best road to take. I am leaning toward the c-section, to avoid the

possibility of fetal distress, plus a long scary, painful journey of

labor that I may not really need, given all that I have already

endured, etc. But---they say the risks of c-section (major surgery?)

for the mom are way higher than labor. I am more concerned about the

baby, but just want to be knowledgeable before I make a decision.

Thanks---
