Thanks B456.
It's quite true to say that there aren't any upsides to a c/s.
Without a C/S there is no way I would be having a second child. The first birthing experience (and I did read all the active birth books and apply the suitable preparations, physically mentally and emotionally) was so horrific that I left my body and very nearly didn't come back again. I'm not risking another walk through the valley of death to birth my second child.

Despite any of the statistical risks, C/S remains a valid choice for many women for whom the "upsides to a c/s" as Lisa puts it far outweigh the risks of a so-called natural birth, which in itself is NOT a risk-free process.

(Sorry couldn't hold it in any longer)!!
