LG,
Guilt has never entered my mind with decided on a c section but it has been very much a huge impact when I was considering a vaginal birth however. In my heart I felt guilty if I attempted a vaginal birth for reasons of pride or because it was the preferred choice by so many others and something went a miss and my baby went into distress and we only ended up in theatre anyway and he might have been traumatised by the experience. That is the guilt I was very much feeling! NO DOUBT! It was a very real feeling and it was starting to take a hold of my joy. Since decided on a elective c section that guilt has gone and I feel liberated and empowered that I know in my heart that I/we have made the right choice for us. I have no self doubt with this decision but I did when I was considering a vaginal birth and it was driving me insane.

Does that make any sense at all? I am just saying what is truly in my heart.
