Can you request a Caesarean section or is it only possible in emergencies?

Yes, it is possible to get a so-called desired-iron cut. There are two hurdles, though. First of all, you have to find a hospital that also carries out the Kaiserschnitt. In fact, there are hospitals that place value on a low Kaiserschnittrate. And the helper of birth, i.e. the doctor, may refuse to make an imperial cut if no one is necessary. But, of course, there are also hospitals that carry out desired iron cuts. Talk to your preferred clinic, then you know what is possible.

And secondly, you have to pay the intervention yourself if there is no medical indication at all, because a desired imperial cut is not a cash benefit. With all drums and drones and stationary stay you can expect about € 4000. Private health insurances are not generally accepted without medical indication.

And it wants to be well thought out: an imperial section is a large abdominal surgery and the pain is not to be underestimated. If it’s stupid, the wound hurts for weeks or even months.

In your other question on the subject, I answered in detail.

At a natural birth there are plenty of ways to alleviate pain, after an imperial cut there are few options, especially if the woman wants to breastfeed.

Statistically speaking, children born through imperial cuts have frequent adjustment disorders and suffer more often in later lives from diabetes, infects and allergies.

Depending on the way the imperial cut went, the binding can sometimes be made more difficult, for example when several hours pass, until the mother puts the newborn on the breast.

Static is also evidenced that imperial cut children are more rarely breastfeeded. The mother is exhausted from the surgery, has pain, the milk intake is delayed.

In summary: if there is no medical reason, I would not recommend an imperial cut.
