[quote=Anonymous]I think the most important question is how many children you want. If you’re one and done, there are indeed several reasons you might want to choose a c-section (as a good many OB-GYNs actually choose for themselves when they’re pregnant). You’ll be less likely to suffer incontinence and various kinds of prolapse both in the postpartum period as well as later in your old age; you will not be subject to the risks of tears etc.

You presumably know the risks of a section since they’re far better publicized, so I won’t discuss any of them here save the potential problems down the line if you get multiple c-sections. If you want more than one or two kids, an elective C is a bad idea. The scar itself raises your chances for placenta accreta (and the even worse form, placenta percreta) in future pregnancies, with all the bad news that potentially follows from there. And with each new c-section, your uterus becomes increasingly prone to rupture in labor.

So: go for it unless you want multiple kids.[/quote]
