Thanks guys for all your information and words of support.
I know that I unless my placenta is still low that I will be having a VB and I think i'm just a frightened first timer! I have had a few friends who had had quite horrific times during VB and this is probably the main reason for my concerns that lead me to wanting a C section ( I am very aware of the risks involved and potential problems to both bubs and myself in relation to a C section).
I have discussed my fears with my hubby and we are going to write a birth plan to take with us on the day and hopefully i'll be brave and deal with everything as it happens.
Once again, thanks to you all
Kate
