It's your body & your decision.

When I was recovering from my vaginal birth I had a view of the entry to a room that was being used for elective c sections. It looked very attractive to me. The ladies arrived all smiles in the morning, left for surgery a little later & quick as a flash they seemed to get wheeled back into their room with their bub. They were able to walk & sit much better than I could when we went to physio a few days later. It sure looked a far better experience than what I went through.
