I do wonder at how many OB's when recommending c/s mention the knock-on effects of c/s, such as the possible effect on breastfeeding, impact on future births etc etc. It's usually the here and now that they discuss, getting the baby out... not worrying about what happens after that. From what I've read, often they don't even speak of the 'general' risks of having c/s surgery, all mum's are told is that they have to have one.

The ob I have now is the 5th one I have encountered during my birthing history and I have discussed with all of them their views on c-sections.

My ob addressed all of these points: breastfeeding - no problem; no evidence to indicate giving birth by c-section leads to less successful breastfeeding. Milk does take slightly longer to come in, but this doesn't effect the baby; they get to feed on colostrum until the milk is fully flowing.
Re future births - my ob suggested that having my second c-section now may hinder my ability to ever birth naturally again, but that I can quite happily have a third c-section should I want to.
Re general risks of c-section - my ob has clearly let me know that as a mum I am more at risk having a c-section than a vaginal birth, in light of the usual risks of surgical procedures.
