Just had to add my 2c worth....i know nothing about what lap surgery would do in relation to birth, but i do know that if you dont want this to happen its your OBs job to try and find other possibilities for you, not scare you in to doing it his way.
I say c section should be a last resort if it has to be done for your/your babies saftey...how can your OB know that is the case for you at 10weeks pregnant....I smell a rat...and i think its you OB

Well done you for questioning it and i hope you manage to find the OB who will work with you to get you the birth you want and deserve!!! Good luck!!!
