I had a choice, either natural which I would of gone into immediate labour (so they told me after). My specialist was over an hour away and my prev labour I had no labour pain , no delievery pain and I was so over paranoid that I would have the baby had they sent me home at home. I chose a c-sect, they had to do a spinal to take the stitch out, I had post traumatic stress from the prev births with complications that usually put me in surgery afterwards (retained placenta) (snapped ambilical cords). So that was the "best" birth I could chosen at the time. Now I think I probably could of done it and one day I might get the opportunity to see how a happy vaginal birth turns out.
I think most doctors are happy either way they tell you to pack for a birth at the time of removal but then I have spoken to women that go full term + .
Its frightening to think what they have to do but the peace of mind I had afterwards knowing that if my membranes were to bulge they was something to stop them even if it was enough time to get to the hospital
