For my next bub I am probably going to choose to have an elective c/s. This is because when I had my DD she had shoulder distocia (where her shoulders got stuck) which is apparently an emergency situation. And the fact that my pelvis was a bit small for her. She also weighed 9lb 7oz. The doctor who delivered her said it was probably best if I had c/s next time round. He advised i have an u/s at around 35-36 weeks to estimate how big the baby will be and if too big(which is most likely) then have a c/s at around the 38 week mark.

I don't mind the idea of a c/s if it is elective. I would rather have that than an emergency one. For reasons like, you are prepared for it, there is less risk of losing you or the baby, doctors arn't rushing the process to get the baby out, so less chance the doctor making a mistake or something because their hands are working faster than they are thinking.

Tootie, that is really harsh for something to say that by having a c/s you didn't give birth! I would have slapped that person silly. It is not like you had the choice and anyway I don't see what the problem is as long as you and the baby are ok.
