I don't understand why people are so against c-sections. Alot of babies are born that way, it's 'the norm'.

I had an elective c/s with DD (it was called elective, but she would have died if we left it much longer) and it was the best decision. She was born healthy (as can be) and happy, had she gone through the trauma of a natural delivery I don't know that she would have survived her surgery.

I am supportive of planned c/s. Whenever I said I had a planned c/s I get told "I'm sorry, that must have been horrible". No, it's not.

I feel so sorry for your friend.
