[quote=Anonymous]OP, it's not unwise to choose a c-section over vaginal delivery. Each way has risks. This article from 2017 went pretty in-depth into the flaws in believing that vaginal birth is always better. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/01/childbirth-injuries-prolapse-cesarean-section-natural-childbirth/ You'll be at a much lower risk of incontinence in your middle and elderly years, and at a much lower risk of minor AND serious pelvic injury, as well as loss of sexual satisfaction. You'll be at a higher risk of some really dangerous stuff -- infections and blood clots (although blood clots are also a risk for any pregnant woman AND any woman delivering vaginally. Whee, it's great to be a woman!). In short, there's no clear right path here, and if your gut is saying C-section, then find an OB who respects that. They are DEFINITELY out there. Many of them opted for c-sections themselves.[/quote]
