Yeah, I just started the thread 'cause it's a good topic.
It IS a good topic!
My .02 is that, while one should try not to be too fearful of a c/s when necessary, I'd always opt for a vaginal birth if it's possible. I was pretty worried about being able to push M out. I did end up pushing for 2.5 hours and needed vacuum assistance, but I'd much prefer that than surgery.

I agree, I pushed for 1.5 hrs and was very worried that I would need a c/s but thankfully, all the midwife needed to do was an episiotomy and Adrian came right out. I fully intend to ask for the episiotomy again if we have another baby. That to me is not a big deal at all compared to a c/s.
