I am pretty sure Tobily was not slamming everyone who has had a c/s, simply pointing out that there are risks involved. The statistics would show that overall those risks are greater than with vaginal delivery, though neither are risk free.
I have had 1 c/s and 1 vbac. My ob said that if I only wanted to have 2 children then there was little difference in the risks posed by repeat c/s or vbac. However if I was planning more pregnancies then a vbac was a better idea as the risks of a c/s increase each time. I already wanted a vbac so this made my decision easier.
Do you want a big family? Did you recover well from your c/s? Would you like to experience vaginal birth or were you completely happy with your c/s?
As other people have already mentioned the number of complication free c/s is different for different people. Whether vaginal delivery or c/s, noone really knows how many children they will be able to have without issues. Good luch whatever you decide.
