[quote=Anonymous]I had a midwife for my delivery (CNM at a well regarded hospital). They were definitely skilled, had great bedside manner, spent more time with me than an OB would have, and got the job done successfully (I had a vaginal birth). However, as PP mentioned, maintaining pelvic floor health is a huge benefit of C-sections. I wish, frankly, that I'd chosen one -- they did ask me if I preferred to carry on pushing or go with a cesarean and I somewhat regret carrying on. I only want one child so I wouldn't need to worry about risks in future pregnancies associated with C-sections, and I had family around to help so I could physically recover. I ended up not having lasting pelvic floor trauma after physical therapy (and I got lucky with an early, small baby and just first degree tearing) but I pushed for 4+ hours and the vaginal trauma made me feel psychologically disgusted with myself rather than a badass warrior woman.
