There are some health conditions that can make it safer for you or safer for your baby if you have a C-section. For this reason it is extremely important that your doctor know your complete medical history. Conditions that might lead the doctor to advise a C-section include:  If you have a heart problem that could make going through a vaginal delivery dangerous for you. If you have high blood pressure that makes it important that the child be delivered immediately. High blood pressure related to a pregnancy is called pre-eclampsia. If you have an infection that could be transmitted to your child during a vaginal birth. Examples include genital herpes and HIV/AIDS. Sometimes the baby or the placenta is located in the uterus in ways that makes a vaginal birth more risky. Under these circumstances, the doctor may advise against a vaginal birth.  If your baby is breech or transverse, a C-section may be safer. A breech baby is positioned so that the feet or bottom would come out first. A transverse baby is lying in the uterus so that it enters the birth canal sideways with its side or shoulder first.  Mothers pregnant with multiples often have one that is not in the normal head-facing down position. If you have two or more babies that share a placenta, you may need a C-section to prevent one of them from not getting enough oxygen during birth. If you have placenta previa, a C-section might be necessary. Placenta previa occurs when the placenta covers your cervix. Because the baby must pass through the cervix to be born, it is dangerous for it to be covered by the placenta. You may also need a C-section if the umbilical cord, through which the baby gets oxygen and nutrients, is squeezed. This can happen if part of the cord goes through the birth canal before the baby. This is dangerous because it means that the oxygen supply to the baby during birth may be restricted. Occasionally vaginal deliveries are not possible due to mechanical reasons. These can include:  You have a fractured pelvis or an unusually small pelvis. You have a fibroid that is in your birth canal which would prevent the baby from fitting through. Your baby has an unusually large head. The baby has an anomaly like omphalocele or gastroschisis (the baby's intestine or other abdominal organs are outside of the body), or cystic hygroma (cysts on the baby's head or neck), which would make a vaginal birth dangerous for them. You are in labor with strong contractions, but your cervix is not opening to allow the baby through. The doctor has tried to induce labor, but it was ineffective. You had a C-section previously and the incision that was made into the uterus makes you more vulnerable for a ruptured uterus. This is called a "classical C-section." This is not the case for all women who have had a prior C-section. Many do have successful vaginal births after having caesarean. If your baby is not getting enough nutrients and oxygen through the umbilical cord, it may not grow and develop at the proper rate. The doctor will track your baby’s development and evaluate whether a C-section is necessary by:  Measuring the your baby’s heartbeat Measuring your baby's growth by measuring the size of the uterus from the pubic bone to the top of the uterus. If this measurement is not normal for your gestational weeks, then an ultrasound is used to measure the baby. Checking the blood flow to the baby with a Doppler ultrasound. Measuring your baby’s growth trajectory in the ultrasound images.

One-sentence summary -- Weigh the risks of any pre-existing health conditions you might have. Ask your doctor whether the position of the baby or placenta requires a C-section. Ask your doctor if you or the baby have a physical condition that would make a vaginal birth difficult. Assess whether your baby is developing properly.

Article: Wash your face if you took a shower the night before. Brush your teeth and floss/clean out your braces (if you have them). Try to choose clothes the night before. The first day of school may be stressful for you so preparing the night before helps. If you are to wear the school uniform remember to iron it and smooth it nicely to prevent creases. Try to look at the mirror before you leave, to make sure your outfit looks okay. Try to do hairstyles that will keep your hair out of your face because you are going to be concentrating in school. Clip up your bangs or long fringe. Additionally, you can try pulling back your hair and braiding it for a more classy look. Here are some good back to school hairstyles: Ponytail, French/Dutch/Fishtail/Infinity braid, pigtails, half up-do, side braid or a bun. Take your time on the makeup because you don't want it to look sloppy. Make sure it is even. For middle school you'll want a very natural look, so stay away from things like eyeliner, eyeshadow, and heavy blush. You'll have plenty of time for more colorful makeup looks in high school. A full face of foundation is also simply impractical for school. If you want to cover blemishes, a light concealer looks much more natural, comfortable, and appropriate. If you want, try some lip gloss, but don't wear lipstick. You will look too grown up. Try delicious and healthy foods such as waffles, pancakes, (without sugary syrup) yogurt, bagel with cream cheese, or a breakfast burrito that will keep you filled up till lunchtime or recess. Avoid sugary cereals that will make you hyper and then crash halfway through the day. That way, you won't starve all day but stay energised and focused during class. Rinse with some mouthwash after brushing your teeth and flossing. Also, try to bring mints with you. You want to be prepared and totally ready. Double check to make sure everything is in your bag. Pack a large, healthy lunch, and snack if your school gives you a chance. Bring a water bottle so that you will always have water with you and don't have to leave class. If you're all alone, then don't sit by the window unless you want someone sitting next to you that you don't know. If you are new at your school, then ask someone who looks friendly -- or shy and alone -- whether you can sit next to him or her. Then strike up a conversation, or if you're by yourself, plug in your iPod, iPhone or MP3 player and ignore the crowd. If you're taking public transit, make sure to remember your stops! Keep a log on your phone. If you are late to school, your first day will be ruined!
