I think the thing is when a choice is taken away from the mother, so for instance if you were told that you wouldn't be able to give birth naturally & that is why you had the c/s, where in fact you may have been able too. Does that make sense? The main issue I have with c/s is that often the choice is taken off the women in situations where it doesn't have to be. For instance, the number of women told they will be having big babies where in fact they are well within "normal" weight ranges...

I had a c/s after 20 hours of labour and felt like everything was out of my hands from the moment I walked into the hospital. I'm okay now, but I think at that time I felt robbed of my natural birth experience. Had I been told that the baby was breech or some other identifiable reason I would have accepted it heaps better & made my decision accordingly. & I may have chosen a c/s.

So, like Sherie said, you make the best decision for you. Not for someone else
