    Wishing you all the best with your birth. And if you feel the need to give some kind of explanation maybe just something like "there are a few concerns that we have discussed with our OB and we are doing what is best for baby and for me". Of course different answers are applicable to who is doing the asking, but its your choice and if you think a person is going to debate the issue with you then dont give them your reasons as this will just be an invitation for them to argue them....

    But GL with your birth, its the outcome tha is important. Mum and bub, both happy and healthy!

    Yep thanks girls, I really appreciate the confidence boost. I do feel its best for our family. I am at peace with the decision and Dh is happy with it also. We will see Obs on Thursday and discuss with him how we go about it. I know that once its all sorted I will sleep better and be less stressed cause to be honest I don't think me being all stressed about it now is doing my buba any good either.
    Myson - that is good advice and I might just use that. Thanks.

    Hope it goes well with your OB.
    It was such a lovely feeling when we accepted we were having a C.S and getting that date to put on the calender! Getting up on that morning and knowing that we were going to the hospital and within a few hrs we would have out baby was a bit sureal but NICE!

    Why would anyone bully you? It's your baby, your body, your choice and from the sound of it you are making an educated decision - no one can ask more than that of you. besides, it's no one elses business.

    Having never had a c/s before i cant offer any words of wisdom other then its your body and your birthing choice.

    I do hope it wasnt the lady at the classes on the weekend that has scared you...mean lady!

    I wish you the very best in what ever birth choice you choose
