Sounds like you would prefer to have a CS ? If so any particular reason over a Vag birth ??

I have had 2 V.births and as others have said much better healing (and a great experience). Also i don't know if midwives would go for an elective CS - they prefer V.birth i would think.

SAying this, my next birth(s) will be CS as i cannot risk going through another V.birth and losing another baby (my last baby died due to a labour complication). I would prefer doing a V.birth any day but i just cannot risk it (would never forgive myself if something happened). Apparently i can "demand" a CS whether i go public or private (because of what happened).

I am going private this time round and will go for CS - for obvious medical reasons.

Just weigh up your options and the pro's and con's of both and get lots of feedback from people - there are justified reasons for both options. Good luck with what you choose to do.

My two sis' have had C/S for medical reasons (one had 4 and the other has had 2). THe one who had 4 was walking about straight after no problem - you coulnd't even tell she had surgery - amazing !
