Why do LTTTCers seem to prefer a c/s?

What do we need?
I guess I've created my own support network since the BFP. I'm lucky to be living in a smallish town which has a great hospital so I can drop in and see the midwives and I have a great GP who also delivers bubs at the hospital. Then I have my private ob in the next BIG town and they have a midwife there too. So having the shared care and understanding of a team of people has been great. My GP has let me drop in whenver I've felt anxious to check bubs heartbeat with the doppler and just to have a chat. I would have gone mad without that. The biggest help has been having someone on the end of the phone (midwives) who don't make me wait...it's just 'come in...how soon can you be here?' All this support has greatly increased my confidence in both myself and this pregnancy. And I'm having some great conversations wbout my birth choices. I've been shown through the birthing suites at both hospitals with no judgement of expectation. I feel really lucky to have people that have genuinely acknowledge the effect this journey has had on me and providing me with a different level of support to counteract the 'fear' that comes with it. The biggest bonus is that I haven't been forced into making any decisions this early on. I have been given time and space to explore this new world of pregnancy and childbirth.
