I had an emergency c-section with my DD due to PE and foetal distress. She was really sick after she was born and has suffered permanent brain damage as a result of complications in late pregnancy/labour.
This time around we're choosing to have an elective c-section because I'm not willing to take the risk of something going wrong during labour again. Yes, I'm aware that c-sections don't always go smoothly, but the decision was made for our peace of mind, and it's the decision we're comfortable with.
After going through what we went through last time, I really don't care how I give birth, as long as the baby is healthy.
