Death twice as likely by caesarean

[Visitor3]

No worries Tanstar, not taking your comments in an argumentative way at all. It's interesting to read different perspectives actually.
Just have to re-itterate what I said a couple of post ago......

I don't advocate "unnecessary" c-sections, but if mum and bub's are at risk and it means going the c-section route then it should be done, therefore necessary to save the lives of the mother and child.

It certainly doesn't make any sense to have an "unnecessary" c-section ?

To be honest, once I fall pregnant, my dream birth would be, in the water, no drugs, completely free and lovely. BUT , if that isn't the case then I am informed enough to know that IF I have to go down the c-section route, I will do so to save the life of my child.
Your birth obviously didn't go the way you expected and perhaps you would have had the drug-free, no tear, minimal pain, completely natural birth that you wanted, but maybe you wouldn't if the doctors hadn't given you a c-section ? I guess you'll never know. What is a definite, what is for sure, is that you and your child is (and correct me if I'm wrong) happy and healthy.
Good luck for the next one, and in the end, it will happen the way it's supposed to happen......
