I agree with making an informed choise I know it sounds a bit fence sitting, but I guess having had a c/s after a long labour...well actually a normal time frame of labour, I would think that labour would be less stressfull on the body and the baby. Only because during a natural birth, the body lets certain hormones flow & control things along the way, the pelvis opens as the babies head goes through & the baby turns according to where they are. During a c/s the baby is taking from the womb without preparation for either body with natural hormones. Many women who have c/s have difficulty with breastfeeding and bonding because they aren't able to hold/feed their babies straight away and that is actually more traumatising than the birth itself.

Check out all your options, read books going for both sides & make a decision based on what you decide is best for you & your baby.
