My first ds was delivered by emergency c-section after failure to progress. He was so stuck that he never desended. I was 3cm when I arrived at hospital for my induction and I was 3cm when I went down to the theatre to have him 9hrs later.

With my second DS I considered VBAC but when I took into account my previous labour, my small pelvis, my ability to produce big babies combined with my mother's history of not quite dialating enough I decided that I would have a 2nd c-section. By c-section was great. I had my ds2 and my DH in the theater with me the entire time and in recovery (unlike with DS1) and my physical recovery was fantastic. I went home from hospital 5 days later with no painkillers and really had no dramas, even when dealing with my 2yr old. I just told him I couldn't pick him up cause I had a sore tummy and I got down to him as much as I could

Whatever decision you make, remember that it's your decision and you should never feel bad for making the best decision for you and your baby.
