I can understand why a planned cs would appeal but remember that you might need support for a few weeks as you recover and you may not be able to drive. Would that be possible with your DH's work? Can he take some parental leave to support you?

What about paid support, such as a nanny, for a few weeks post birth? Or do you have a friend who could stay for a while? It's a horrible situation to be in, I hope you find a solution xx
