Madison,

I know you've signed off and I'm not detracting from any of the good advice in this forum, but ... if you want a c section and you have a private obstetrician, it is ultimately your choice, you're paying for it and they will go along with it. It might be different in a public hospital but if you're going private, that's the way it is.

That isn't to say that they won't try to talk you out of it or ask you about your reasons for choosing it of course. Because it is major surgery and there is a fair bit of recovery involved, they need to make sure you are aware of exactly what you're in for.

I think it also helps to talk to some people who have had caesars because they've got the first hand experience of it and can let you know how they handled it. It might help a bit as you are considering your options.

Kind regards,

Mel
