PrincessT, I can totally understand why people's reactions are starting to get to you. All I can suggest is that you either totally ignore it, or don't bring up the fact that you are planning a c-section at all. After having two VB's with complications and then an emergency c-section, if I were having another baby I'd definitely have a planned c-section and if anyone had anything negative to say about it, I'd feel like shooting them down in flames!

This is YOUR health we are talking about, which is not something to be messed about with. Having had both sorts of births, I can assure you, there is NO lessening of the bonding experience with your baby.
If people are making you upset, just tell them that you are classed as a 'high-risk' pregnancy, and a c-section is recommended so that you will actually be able to walk after the birth! After my second child, I ended up using a wheelchair for six months as a result of a spinal trauma caused during labour, so I can assure you that it is a very real possibility.

Don't let the turkeys get you down!
