I just found out what actually happened to me 5 years ago during my emergency c-section. You see, the hospital I went to is known for lying to cover their collective butts and they lied about my incision.

I found out today that they did a low transverse uterine incision, realized the baby was in a bad position, and did a classical incision. I imagine this resulted in a giant upside down "T." I guess this is sometimes called an "Inverted T Cesarean." Since I won't be attempting a VBAC in any way and will (very hopefully) avoid going into labor altogether and going directly to a planned c-section, will their be complications because of this incision? Is it really dangerous to be pregnant like this?

They're acting like it's no big deal as long as I don't want a VBAC because they've already said no way. Otherwise, they don't seem to care. I'm absolutely terrified because my last surgery was SO bad and SO scary. And there was excess bleeding, blood transfusion, etc...

Any ideas as to whether or not this is anywhere near common or super risky? I have another week until I see the doc.
 
My doctor and I just talked about this. She called it a T incision. She may have to do this because my baby is high and sideways or transverse. She said she has to get either both feet or head. She said in 10 years she has only has to do this type of incision twice. Once she could only get the baby's hand and leg so she had to make the T incision so she could get the baby out. She told me that if we want more kids I will have to have a c-section with no consideration of giving birth vaginally. She also told me that the T is only on the uterus not the belly so the only way to know is from the doctors. She had no warnings about any future pregnancies only the deliveries.
