C section or natural

[newmumtobe1998]

So, I’ve always swayed towards an elective c section and stay am up for one, however, I recently heard you can have what they call a ‘medical’ or ‘assisted birth’ which is having the epidural and not feeling much. I have this huge fear that something will go wrong during natural labour I don’t know why, always have done so that’s why I’ve swayed more c section. However, is it worth giving natural a go?
I just always hear horror stories of people not receiving the epidural in time or short staffed etc and things going wrong.

Is anyone else in the same position?

One thing I will say from experience is recovering from a c-section is no walk in the park

I think you need to way up the pros and cons. I had an emergency csestion under general with my first because she was a footling breech. I actually delivered her feet in triage. My second was also breech and was an elective csestion. It's was very chilled compared to thd emergency one. I didn't really gaga choice. I wish j could have had a water birth. The csestion recovery was hard especially with a newborn. My SIL was out and about within days with her vaginal birth. It took me about 4 weeks before I was able to go out.
