I would really like to know if anybody would choose to have a c section if offered? My first child was born naturaly without much pain relief (just pethadine - didin't have much effect). It was a simple birth with no complications and although I am glad I have given birth naturaly I didn't enjoy a second of it and was so exhausted after that it took a while for me to bond with my son. My second child was breech and when they offered me a C Section I agreed. I had a much better experience and lots of help to recover after. I am now pregnant with my third and they have offered me another Caesar and i'm thinking about taking it. I have read alot of comments from people who seem to look down and critisise women who choose this option and I would like to know what people really think.
I almost feel ashamed when I talk about it to some other mums and it really taints the whole wonderful pregnancy experience.
Phew, thanks for listening!
