I'm about 11 weeks along (I think - scan on 8 September when I'll know for sure) and this is my first baby. I'm also an older mum at 43.
I've just read an article about Claire Sweeney, who's my age, about to have her first baby and it said that she was advised to have a C-section because of her age.
Has that been your experience?
I'm not totally against having a C-section, but I would prefer to have a vaginal delivery. I'm going to research my options more, but I would love to know others' experience.
