hiya! as everyone else has said, whoa! what a thing to have thrown at you now! that being said, me personally, I NEVER entertained the thought that I would have to have a CS, I skipped over all those bits in the birth books, was going to be all natural for me, but that wasnt the case.
at 40 weeks I was told I was going to be induced (due to pre labour for 2 wks) but the OB I saw was very staraightforward in her " no point faffing around here, we will let you labour for 4 hours then its straight to surgery, that baby is a big one and I highly doubt he is going to come naturally!"
I laboured for 10, then ended up having the csection, my boy was 9pd 11oz, yes he was big, but I do truly believe that I could have had him naturally, if I wasnt induced.
You do what is right for you, having a CS really screwed with my head, but I think this is because I was not prepared for it.
my best advice to you would be to research your options, find out about it as much as you can and be at peace with your decision, just remember that its your body, your baby, your choice.
