I cant speak from experience, but someone I know is so scared about the pain of birth that she is looking into perhaps having a c/s. She is that petrified that emotionally it is looking like the pregnancy would be a more positive experience for her if she has a c/s. I know that majority of people dont agree with this and there are numerous reasons why it is safer to have a vaginal birth etc. But she is seriously thinking about not having children (even though she really wants them) as her emotions about giving birth are so huge. I dont know what kind of decision she will make, but I do know that for some people it's not about being too posh to push. I think we as women judge too much and while I would not reccomend an elective c/s without medical reason, I dont think it is my right to judge a woman for doing so.

I hope that some people with actual experience can come forward and let you know their feelings.
