Sally, Guess I should have given more info in my first post...I have whelped many litters, even helping friends in the middle of the nite and including driving a friend at 2am and assisting with an emergency c-section. Whelping the litter is the most exciting part...this bitch's grandmother whelped all of her litters on her own as did her daughter...litters of 12 and 13. I just thought how wonderful for her to wake up and it's over...then the " waking up " part instilled fear. The repo vets seem to have no problem with scheduled sections...that's why I wanted the list to tell me their thoughts and experiences...

As I said I understood the first post to be wanting opinions - I gave mine - I did not understand it to be a personal situation.
