2 weeks ago I had a repeat c/s after doing research like you. My first child was born by emergency c/s after 32 hours of labour again. I decided due to my PND and anxiety I did not want to go for VBAC also as I was told the chances of VBAC for me were slim as my firstborn got stuck in my pelvis it would likely end up in c/s anyway.

My choice for elective c/s this time two weeks ago for the birth of Tara was the best decision I ever made it was easy, stress free and the recovery was great, I was off all painkillers in 4 days. And we are breastfeeding well and she is already 300g over her birthweight and is 2 1/2 weeks old. I couldnt be happier with my decision and how we both are going and how we both have recovered.

I hope that my birth story of Tara helps you support your decision.
