It's something I have noticed in other places as well, Sushee. And I also wonder...

Is it about control? Perhaps a c-section appears to be a more controlled way to give birth.

One thought that crossed my mind before my fear of surgery kicked in was that the doctors got this baby in there, the doctors can get it out!

It is obvious though, that LTers need more support and encouragement to trust their bodies and give it a go. The fear that breast feeding won't work out either is something I have also seen - and am currently grappling with now.
