Thanks, Michelle for your reply. It sounds like my plan is very similar to the one you had. I know I'll be much more accepting of a caesar if I have tried for the natural delivery and it doesn't happen. And, like you, I am much more comfortable with my baby coming when it's ready to come, and I also want the experience of labour. I think your experience sounds really positive, and I think I'll also feel good if I end up needing the caesar, knowing that I gave my body a chance at a natural delivery first.
Thanks again, for letting me know how you went. I appreciate it!
