I agree - it's a hard decision.

I always thought that my babies would be natural - but after my first (emergency - and nearly lost baby), it really opened my eyes to being better informed and making rational decisions (rather than being forced into an emergency situation).

It turns out that I don't get a choice when it comes to natural delivery......and it gets me a little riled up when friends/family tell me that C-sects are the easy way out. Because it is far from it! Just ask anyone who just had a C-sect after having a natural delivery first time.......lol

So sorry, I get a little defensive when it comes to free choice, thanks to the natural-labour bullies!

good luck with your research, and decision making.
