[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for all of this feedback. My OB said she would schedule a C-section if I want one. Curious to hear more from women who had planned c’s on recovery time, level of pain, complications, etc.

I am not wrapped up in the “v birth” badge of honor or “natural way,” really I just want the best long term outcome for my pelvic floor and sex life after delivery.[/quote]

Me, me, me. I pity your child…[/quote]

I had unmedicated vaginal deliveries (they went great for me; no negative side effects for me or the kids) and I absolutely made the decision to give birth that way for me — it seemed less scary and more comfortable *for me*.  The baby will be fine either way except I guess for having the benefit of a less miserable mother if she’s able to have a less traumatizing birth.  Obviously you can’t control the situation entirely — bad things can happen no matter what — but forcing/encouraging someone to go through a major medical experience they’re terrified of when there’s another option they’re less terrified of is stupid and introduced unnecessary trauma.  One of the best moms I know had a scheduled c section and is still glad she went with than choice just as I’m glad I went with vaginal deliveries.[/quote]
