    Would have loved to hear about this in the media though, I would never have known! There would be many others the same I think.
    I only heard about it through @CaesareanAU on Twitter, otherwise I wouldn't have known either.

    A good day to let people know that 'elective' c section does not always mean 'wanted' c section as so many assume.

    I always use the term 'scheduled' caesarean, as opposed to 'elective'. I did not 'elect' to have a c/s, one was 'scheduled' because, due to placenta praevia, I could not go into spontaneous labour.

    Hopefully the next awareness day I'll be celebrating will be VBACAD!
