[quote=Anonymous]My SIL had 2 planned c sections. First was due to an overestimation of fetal size (estimate was between 10 and 11 pounds...baby ended up being just over 8 pounds, but she was very long). 2nd c section was because OB would not consider a VBAC. She had easy, straightforward recoveries at 30 and 34. I had 2 inductions (pitocin only) and vaginal deliveries at 37 and 41. Minimal tearing with 1st, no tearing at all with 2nd. Easy recoveries, no lingering issues. I would not voluntarily schedule a c section for a first delivery if I was planning on having more children afterwards due to the risk of adhesions leading to fertility issues. I know several women who had that problem. But that's my own personal opinion. Do whatever you feel most comfortable with, OP. You'll hear stories that run the gamut from "easy-peasy" to traumatic for both types of delivery.[/quote]
