[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Push your baby out while you are on your hands and knees.  There is much less pressure on the sacrum and tail bone in this position, and much lower likelihood that it will dislocate.  If your doctor does not know how to deliver a baby this way, perhaps you could find a hospital-based midwife to help you out.  Also, "breathing" the baby out is far more effective than forcefully bearing down as the baby is crowning.  Of course we have no idea how your last two deliveries worked out, but if they were not like this, then perhaps you still have something new you could try.

I would do the vaginal birth because it is better for the baby.  Baby's born by c/s statistically have a tougher time breathing and have a greater chance of asthma as they get older.  Or, if you decide you want a c/s, wait until you spontaneously start labor so your baby at least has the benefit of labor hormones, and then go in to get the c/s.[/quote]

BABIES BORN BY C-SECTION DO NOT HAVE A GREATER RISK OF CHILDHOOD ASTHMA, GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.

TO THE OP: my c section was super easy to recover from. i felt great in 10 days and was doing ab crunches (gentle ones) at 6weeks. baby was breech and could not be turned. it was not my choice or my desire, but was the safest way to go. and her health came above my desires.[/quote]
