I wonder if the 'knowing the risk going in' also affects the birth stories we hear? Another article Kelly posted about c/s says that people can feel more in control having a c/s whereas with vaginal, it can be viewed as a wait and see what happens game (to paraphrase!). So if the mums don't feel in control.. even if the birth is pretty much problem free.. I wonder if that can often lead to the birth story sounding more horrible?

OK - I hope that made sense. hehe.
