I will be nearly 43 by the time I give birth and I honestly think I'm too old for all my bits to spring back afterwards. I also honestly think that an elective caesarean must surely be the safest way to deliver.
However I don't really want to ask the midwife if it is possible to request a caesarean in case she puts me in the "too posh to push" category (especially if she spots one of my handbags!).
I'm certainly not too posh to push, and the thought of being incapacitated for several weeks after a caesarean doesn't appeal either.
Not sure how to handle the subject to be honest. Would be grateful for your thoughts.
