OK, here is my reason for having an elective C/S last time....haemmoroids. Totally different to your reason, but I have had a terrible time for years & years & the thought of pushing out a baby was terrifying to me. My OB was only too happy to oblige....

In answer to some of your other Qs:

did you regret choosing c/s?
TBH, yes I do. I really didn't anticipate the pain of recovery from a C/S. It was horrible. Much worse than I imagined. I also felt like I had missed out on something special. I know not all women feel this way after a C/S, but I do.

did anything go wrong?
No, it all went pretty smoothly - oh, except that Em decided to come 4 days before the C/S date so it ended up being done as an emergency C/S LOL.

did people judge you based on your decision to have a c/s?
Some did. Because of the personal nature of my reason, I didn't tell everyone why I chose it. I did feel judged. And for a while it bothered me. Now it wouldn't really. It's no-one elses business.

Now, having said all of that, I am now going for a VBAC with this pg. I still have the same problems as last time, but am looking at it very differently now. I want to be able to pick up my toddler when she visits in hospital. I want to hold my bub as soon as she is born instead of waiting hours. A C/S to me is just not what I want.

So good luck with your decision, I know my experience is different to yours, but I hope that sheds some light on my POV both before & aferwards.
