Thanks for the replies everyone.. I don't know if I want to know what my doctor does. They say knowledge is power, but maybe ignorance is bliss?? No seriously, I will ask, even if I am afraid of the answer.. I would DEFINITELY prefer to have a longer scar than forceps used.. It's just so clinical and cold.. I guess a c section kind of is anyway, but I hate the thought of the 1st thing touching my baby is metal..
