That must be so hard for you! I can understand how you might be thinking along the lines of an elective c/s, however have you thought about your care afterwards? If you have minimal support, and your partner is only able to have a few days off, it might be worse in the long run (support wise) having the c/s?

Have you had a c/s before? It takes up to 6 weeks to recover, you can't drive, you can't do the washing for a couple of weeks (can't carry the basket out or reach up to the line), you're not able to vaccuum, there's many other restrictions that may be placed on you as well. At least with a vaginal birth you're up and about a short time after, feeling a little worse for wear sometimes but the recovery is so much quicker than a c/s, trust me, I've had both!

Good luck with your decision
