i definitely need to have an elective c-section after the traumatic arrival of my first bub (28 hours labour, emergency csection).... i just couldn't go through that again, there is no way.... my question to those who have had electives, is it just a matter of saying you want an elective and they will do it, or does it depend on your doctor/ob/hospital?? i was and will probably be going public again, how does it work with wanting an elective c-section... any stories? is it likely that i will be told i should try to go thru the labour?? ive had some counselling with a pyschologist and have realised its really important for me to have as much control as possible with bub number 2 and to be honest if i was told i had to try the labour again, i probably wouldn't have another.... although i am a good year off TTC, it does freak me out that i might be forced to try to labour and birth vaginally....?
