Ok, I typed something up beforehand, and one handed too lol, then it got eaten!
But I managed to save it first.

I think there are a lot of women who believe a c/s is safer than a VB, that is until a lot of them end up here on BB reading.

And, it may very well be that LTTTCers have lost faith in their bodies, and so, place their faith in the medical profession that helped them conceive?

Maybe what BW said about control is right? (Right is the wrong word, but lack of sleep ATM, prevents me from thinking of the right word to use) Being able to 'choose' the birth day and how it will happen may be what some people need after having no choice or control over drug amounts, follicles numbers and growth, fertilisations -etc.. YKWIM.

Shannon also makes a great point about our DH's. After my DD was born (public system) I was told it would be a c/s from now on. It was always a great way to have an arguement with my husband, talking about a VBAC. He thought I had died after our DD was born, so it was quite emotional for him to even entertain the idea of a VBAC.
When pregnant with DS, my choices were to travel to the next town over (45minutes away with no family) to the public hospital who is extremely pro c/s, or 2 hours to my family, back to the same public hospital where DD was born. We chose a private OB after being LTTTCers, I wanted continuity of care more than anything, and we only had 2 OB's to choose from. One who I kind of knew was pro c/s, and the other who we went with, who is pro VBAC and breech birth. For us, the choices where we live played a big part in it too I suppose.
My OB, said no to vbac, but when I fronted up for my c/s and was already 8cms, he said he thought I would be able to birth DS, or I should at least try. I was terrified of ending up in the same situation as with DD, even though he explained why he thought I wouldn't, I didn't trust my body or have that belief in myself to do it.

BG, makes a great point about psychologicl issues too. I chose a GA with DS, simply because it was doing my head in thinking about that needle going in my back for a spinal c/s. I was forever crying at the thought of it, and after chatting to our OB, he said he was fine with the GA, because if I was already emotional , once I got into theatre, I could quite possibly become even worse when they started tugging and pulling.

Wouldn't it be great if there was so sort of inbetween services to AC/ LTTTCers to show them there are a huge variety of choices in their ante natal care and birthing experience.
