Please don't just go for a C/s because of the control of the situation and the damage that can be done during VB. I had an elective C/S for DD1 for the same reasons. The recovery was horrible and painfull but now, 3 years later, I still have no feeling over the bottom half of my abdomen. They cut the nerves when they do the C/s and alot of woman lose feeling there. I also have the pocket of skin that hangs over my scar and can't get rid of it through any diet or exercise. I struggled to BF because it was difficult getting up and down out of bed and my baby was very demanding. I felt like I didn't bond with her in the beginning and feel very guilty about leaving her. As soon as she was out of me they took her away and I only got to hold her about 5 hours later after recovery. I would have done anything to be able to hold her from the start. I couldn't get up for the first day so she slept by the midwives - again I feel like I abandoned her. She was really groggy from the anaesthetic too. Please read the post and replies on C Section horror stories and think again about the "convenience" of a C/S.
