I am expecting DS2 in September, and because I had a c-section last time (breech baby), I've basically been offered a c-section this time. I wondered whether anyone had any advice on the decision. On the one hand, I know the procedure, and am not scared of it, it was made as pleasant as possible last time, and I would know when the baby was going to arrive (unless it was 10 days early, like DS1...), so childcare for DS1 would be easy.
but would I feel like I'd never done the whole natural childbirth thing? Is it cheating? I'm v. scared of the pushing bit...
Thanks for any thoughts..
