[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such an awesome thread, thank you so much PPs! NP here. Knowing what you know and reading this thread, if you had a choice between an elective C section (for context, DH was born without GD at 12.5 lbs and 24 inches and) would you just...elect for this from the get go? Seems like the ideal is:
1) Vaginal Birth- no issues, no tearing
2) Planned C section
3) Vaginal birth, vaginal trauma
4) Emergency C with hours and hours of pushing and trauma

Is a scheduled c for a first birth nuts? It sounds a heck of a lot better than some of these horrible pelvic floor tearing options. [/quote]

As someone with major pelvic floor injuries after a low risk pregnancy and planned vaginal delivery, I will 100 percent recommend to my daughter that she have scheduled c sections for her births. The incidence of prolapse, incontinence, pain, etc. after vaginal birth is quite high - let alone anatomical changes to nerve function and vaginal shape/size that really can damage sexual function - is extremely high. Wanting and needing to be able to poop, pee, have sex, exercise, wear tampons/manage periods easily, and orgasm normally for the rest of your life after childbirth really matters and right now no one takes that into account when considering Risks of vaginal delivery.
