I have been TTC 22mths now and am starting AC next cycle and my biggest fear right now is falling PG with twins (not that I wouldn't love that) as the suggestion towards c/s is so much stronger.. I have spent the 20mths reading and researching as much as I can about birth and really can't wait to experience a VB for myself.. If I had my way it'd be a homebirth for me but I have too many others around me who believe an OB will do a better job birthing my baby than I will.. I hadn't noticed necessarily that it was higher in the LTTTC that thought a c/s was safer, I feel it's pg women in general. My feeling is that as a society we aren't spending any time looking into our birth choices and putting too much trust in our doctors. Maybe it appears more prevalent in LTTTC as we spend more time (years v's months) on this site discussing our views due to the amount of trouble we have conceiving where a member that has only just joined and fallen pg quickly will more likely move on and not require this site as much. (if that makes any sense). Yes we have more time to think about this and worry about the outcome but I think LTTTC as well as all women need to be given more information on why a VB is safer that a c/s.. I think it's a fact we are losing sight of.. I also agree with Bathsheba.. "The business of being born" is a must see. My opinion only and I'm loving reading everyone elses...
