rachaelmason, only those that have had a c/s would know it wasn't taking the "easy way out."

Even though mine was an emergency c/s i have been asked "Why didnt you try to give birth naturally, then go with the c/s if that didnt work?" My daughter would've died if i didnt, as her cord was being clamped with each contraction,and each minute her placenta was dying, as there was an infection in my uterus killing it (and therefor killing my baby too). So you can see, you get cr@p for "needing" a c/s, let alone choosing one. So ignore them. All that matters is your baby is born safely. HTH (sorry for hijacking your thread)

ps i would choose a c/s over natural with a breaech bub yeeeouch giving birth naturally!!
