Is this your first bub? There are some lovely stories you can read on how you can have a great birth. There are some in the Birth Stories section on bellybelly, and i have found some good books too. (Active Birth by Janet Balaskas; Ina May's Guide to Childbirth by Ina May Gaskin; Birth Skills by Juju Sundin with Sarah Murdoch)

Is there a friend who you would ask to assist you? Or would you like a doula?

C section has a longer recovery than vaginal birth, and i think this would be more difficult if you were on your own. You would manage if you had to, but if you can avoid it the early weeks with bub would be easier.

take care,
