[quote=Anonymous]I had a maternal choice c-section with Kaiser in 2013. Nobody batted an eye: the doc got a second doc to confirm my choice so nobody could say she'd pressured me, but there was no suggestion the doc would veto my choice. OP, you might want to read the book Choosing Cesarean. It explains that c-sections are extremely safe for baby, somewhat riskier for mom on average but the type of risk is different (eg, no risk of prolapse if you don't push). I had a healthy full term baby, no asthma or other issues, and I breastfed for 2 years. I also had bladder and bowel issues just caused by pregnancy: it's hard to know if they would have been worse after labor but I assume so. I only wanted one kid, but I know women who've had 3 sections so it's not like you can only have one. Surgery can make it more difficult to get pregnant later, however, so weigh that. [/quote]
