To C-section or not to C-section...

BellaKelsey

I have a VERY strong preference for vaginal birth and all of the benefits that come with it for mom, baby, and their ability to bond. I am very scared that something will prevent me from having that choice.

my neighbor, also one of the OBs in my practice had a baby in Sept. and scheduled her own c-section and her baby came home looking angelic and non-stressed, cause she was never IN the birth canal.  I dunno, seems like a good idea for mom (preserving present state cooter-ville) and keeps the baby from physical stress.

Absolutely, positively natural - I'd never choose to have a c-section.

I wish I could go VBAC. But first DC was breach so had to have a Csection. While it wasn't terrifying, the recovery was rough. I am choosing another Csection due to the closeness between my first and second child. I can't talk myself into taking a chance on a uterean rupture. But, had I not had a C before, I'd definitey go natural.

i'm still stuck at the word "cooter"... um, do people still even say that or did i hop in my time machine to 1993 with snoop dogg and my daisy dukes?
