Thanks for your input, Kris. It's great to hear success stories from both sides. I'll be seeing my Dr. on Monday and hopefully I'll get a chance to have a good talk to him about a few things. I'll have to make sure I write down a stack of questions. He'll have my previous records from my last GP but I still have to arrange for my hospital records from Geelong to be transferred (I guess I'll have to quiz the actual hospital about that? Another question for my Dr.!).

Thanks to everyone for your responses. It's great to have you all help me try and come to terms with a decision I don't feel like I'm goin' it alone.

I've mentioned it briefly to Neil but he's not really forthcoming with his feelings about it all. I don't think it interests him. I think he'd prefer I went with the caesar but who knows? I might do some more research and show him the more stand-out points and see what he thinks. Either way I know he'll support my decision. He did such a good job being there for me when I was in labour with Gab - I think he even surprised himself
