Funny how everyone else wants to stick their nose in something that's such a personal decision and a personal experience. I guess it's (usually) just because they care. But honestly I don't think it's anyone else's place to say how you should birth your baby.

I personally feel that it is totally up to you if you want to elect to have a cesarean. If that is a choice that is available to you and you want to take it, then it's between you and your doctor and no-one else.

I agree with PP's that you should research and really think hard about why you want the c-section over a vaginal birth. Not because I think there is anything wrong with that choice, just because if you are firm on your reasons and know what you're in for, it will make you feel more sure about your decision, and other people's opinions won't make you feel so confused and unsure. It will also help you have a more positive birthing experinence. If thinking deeply about and researching your decision makes you realise that you're not feeling confident about it, then you might like to consider the alternative... it's certainly not too late to change your mind and prepare for a VB.

Either way, it's your body, your baby, your experience, your choice.
