Friend who is 36wks pregnant with her first is in a bad way. Her father died two months ago, her family strongly disapprove of her having a baby with her partner (because they're not married). She had a scan last week during which the technician and midwife repeatedly told her how incredibly enormous the baby is (she is huge, it shows).
So her head is not in a good place right now and she has decided she wants a C-section. She told her MW who clucked at her and told her she should see a psychiatrist.
She is aware of all the risks, etc. I know there is a debate to me had about natural versus C-section but I would just really like to hear the best way of helping her get what she wants so she can regain some control. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
