[quote=Anonymous]I wish I would’ve had a friend like yours. Went with vaginal delivery because drs told me it would be an easier recovery. Second degree tear (that the OB didn’t repair correctly), broken tailbone, etc. it’s been over two years and I’m still not back to normal. I doubt I’ll ever be. What I’ve been told by drs since then is that a planned c section is much more controllable than a vaginal delivery, and if I was risk averse, I should’ve scheduled a maternal request c section. Also see this study out of Canada showing a lower risk to planned c section vs planned vaginal: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33941522/ If you only want a couple of kids and you aren’t attached to some romanticized notion of vaginal birth or to pushing your child’s head out, I’d very much go for the c section, and send your friend a very nice thank-you gift.
