What type of birth do you expect to have?

As long as this baby turns head down, I will be expecting another vaginal birth.

Wait I wanted to choose "natural."

This sounds crazy, but I said c-section. Reason being, my labor with DS was like the holy grail of inductions. I progressed well, my water broke on it's own 6 hours after starting Pitocin, I pushed for 15 minutes, and that was it. I was up walking around the room with minimal soreness an hour after he was born.

I'm not banking on getting lucky twice.

I agree with you, that sounds crazy. You would never be allowed to just have a c section in my country, for the reason "my last birth was perfect".

I'm not electing for a c-section. I'm preparing myself for the outcome of a c-section because I doubt I'll get lucky enough to have 2 easy births.

Edited to add: Apologies for not reading the question as a literal "what kind of birth are you having" inquiry. In my case, I won't know what kind of birth I'm having until I'm actually fucking. having. it. And congrats to you on living in New Zealand where blah blah blah.

High five to you @brideandbreve.

Ideally, I'll go into labor around 8 am on a Thursday morning, take DD to day care, go to hospital and have baby (vaginally) by 5 pm so DH can go pick her up and take her home. Since it's a Thursday, he'll have a 4 day weekend with us and can go back to work on Monday like he wants to do. I think maybe I'm being a tad too specific...
