Hey Jess,

Elective C Section (ECS) or VBAC, you know what ..... at the end of the day, no matter which way you sway, everybody wants the same thing - a beautiful healthy bouncing baby. I personally do not care whether my future babies come out the sunroof or through the tunnel providing I get one that I can bring home and watch grow.

If this is the decision you have made, having been though the process yourself then you know what you are in for. Nobody in their right mind would elect to go through major abdominal surgery without doing research for the pro's and con's. Our bodies can only put up with so much.

So by electing this birth choice, I believe you have done the research, know the risks for this pregnancy and all others in future and have come up with the decision YOU are most comfortable with. Nobody pro or against has the right to knock you for that. Your Body, Your Choice.

I have had an em c-sec and have found more support for VBAC next time rather than ECS, but at the end of the day each person needs to do what is right for them and their baby.

I don't feel that bagging (even snide remarks) for either choice is healthy nor is going to benefit either side of the arguement. People need to respect others opinions even when they differ from their own.

Best of luck with your continued pregnancy, I look forward to hearing your story once your bub is born. I also hope that bub stays put and doesn't try to surprise you early
