Hi Perthmum,

I don't think any of us made it out to be a soft option. One thing that is hard for other people to accept is that some of us choose to have a c section and it doesn't mean that we believe we are taking the easy way out. I describe my recovery in positive terms because for me, it was not a negative experience. I believe that others contemplating the same decision deserve at least as much positive information as the negative they are more than likely to receive.

Kind regards,

Mel
