Cailin - I've barely scratched the surface with research but this thread has helped a lot. I will be reading more and more and getting heaps of advice as the months go on so that I can make an informed decision.
My concern with an emergency caesar is that after the 5 days of prostin pain/labour with Gab, I was totally knackered. I spaced right out once she was born and I firmly believe my milk supply was affected because my body was in shock. Of course other things contributed (them taking her away from me because they were short-staffed for one... grrr!) but I'm just so worried that history will repeat itself!
Either way, I'll be writing out my birth plan (detailed this time!) and taking several copies. My last birth plan never had a set of eyes laid on it. I had it in my labour bag but never got it out. This time I might staple it to my forehead, PMSL.
