I would only have a c-sect if there was no other choice, I think it is best for the baby to be born vaginally (complications aside).
Labour isn't meant to be easy, it is exhausting and it hurts - but it is so no matter how the baby is born.

At the end of the day it really is up to you, so if you are looking for opinions you will get lots. the only ones I really hate are from MEN and people with no children themselves.
