Choosing a c-section without medical reason - Why did I chose to give birth this way *HONEST*, pt. 1

My mom chose to have a c section with both my sister and I. We were also very big babies and she said it was the best decision she could’ve ever made. If I ever decide to have a baby I will definitely do the same. Thank you for sharing your experience 🥰

Natural was a horrific experience. I suffered PTSD and still have nightmares 5 years later. My second baby was a planned C Section ❤ it was wonderful, calm, quicker recovery. Dont let midwives or OBs tell you C Sections are not positive or longer healing. Its just not true.

Thankyou for this video ,i have an elective c sec scheduled for next week ,there's no medical reason and I couldn't find any real stories of women choosing a csec birth .Even though I had decided a long time ago that c sec delivery would be the way I gave birth ,there's some strange reason the mind keeps going back and forth. This video is exactly what I needed today ❤️

I want to thank you so much for this video, I'm 14 weeks with my first and already have cleared an elective c-section with my OB. There are just so many negative outcomes with traditional births these days and nobody seems to talk about this topic enough! ♥️

Its amazing to learn that someone far away from me (I am in Canada) has the exact same story regarding their preference on C section. Your thought process was exactly as mine. Its nice to come across your video to know I am not the only one who feels this way about natural delivery.

"Not all designs are good" :D!! Thank you for this thought and also for sharing your thoughts, feelings and experiences about c-section and your story so naturally. I do not have any incline to natural birth either so far and I never had. It is good that we have a choice now and that we can live with this choice. I found this video yesterday and subscribed to this channel immediately. I like the tone and the funny-practical approach. Sometimes it irritates me when I see pregnancy or motherhood videos which are over-glorifying every detail in a cliché way. Also this aspects of life contain a lot of reality and everyday in them and it is good to talk about that too.

Here in Italy they discourage C section so much for many reasons even more when you have no health conditions to request one. My gyno though recommended because my baby girl is big and because of my age there is a chance I don’t dilate properly or I go through a long labour to then end up in emergency. She managed to book the appointment for my c section and now I have a date. Like you I had my doubts because all other doctors were discouraging me and telling me terrible stories about the recovery. I trust my gyno and I stick to my decision. Also something that you don’t mention and many don’t mention is the sexual consequences you might have with vaginal birth. Lack of sexual sensitivity for yourself and your partner, loose vagina, prolapse, urinary or fecal problem. My gyno said that with c section my genitals would be intact and to be honest I want that. I want to keep having a healthy intimacy with my husband without pain, insensitivity or discomfort. Of course I am scared of c section particularly the Rico very but I am more concerned about vaginal birth and it’s consequences. My vagina, my baby, my choice

Thank you for sharing this! It's true, there isn't much content for women to feel positive in their choice of an elective c section. I tried so hard to deliver my son naturally, we ended up getting infections and sent to the NICU for a week, so next time I'd like to go straight to deliver by csection. That's based on my experience and my choice. I used to care what other mama's thought about my decision but I've come to peace with myself and I know I'm just as powerful as a naturally delivering mama.

I’m going to have to have a c section in a week and a half. Long story short I had a vaginal birth with my son and I tore abnormally and never healed correctly. First 4 months I couldn’t walk without being in excruciating pain (felt every step i took I was being stabbed down there). I had 2 corrective surgeries and other procedures and it took me 10 months to recover. I’m still having on off pain but I’m able to manage it by Gods grace. It’s not what I would have chosen but it’s for my best and my husband and I are trusting in God and praying the c section will go smoothly. My advice is you need to do what’s best for you in your given situation. The most important thing is baby and mommy are ok.

C section is the best way to deliver a baby.

Thank you!! I feel exactly the same way, trying to get pregnant atm and the only way I can imagine is with a caesarean, I just know it.

If it helps, Helen George (actress on Call the Midwife), had her two children via c section as after acting in a TV show BASED on labour and delivery trauma, she was paranoid about all the possible complications

Thanks for sharing your experience!🥰 Loved to hear a different view on the C-section choice and why 💖

I am also sceduled for an elective c section!

Thank You for sharing this!! I want a C section as well. I’ve never felt I wanted to have a natural birth. I’m hoping the DR will allow me. I will express my concerns.

I was so hopping to find vid like that!!! dealing with the same problem / choice that you described :) thank you

I'm currently at 30Weeks and doing more research on Elective CS. Since the beginning of my pregnancy I have already set my mind on having a scheduled CS due to having PCOS and overweight. But on my 1st trim, I lost a lot of weight due to extreme nausea and vomiting and got my BMI to normal, then now had all my tests and ultrasound and all of my results came back normal which was really great and my OB is saying that my situation is very ideal for Vaginal birth. I also have workmates who are also pregnant at the same time and they'te all pushing for Vaginal Birth and whenever I tell someone that I am choosing to have elective CS they are all saying something negative against it. Now I'm getting confused and researching for people with the same ideal as me. I just don't want to push for Vaginal birth then on the process of doing it something happens and still end up having an Emergency CS.

I had a C-section an emergency C-section with my first and a completely natural delivery with my second. I have to say the natural birth was easier after the fact . I should have had a C-section on my second just because my blood pressure was out of control for my delivery. I don't understand why my doctor induced me I could have had a stroke or an aneurysm. I was young though and I didn't stand up for myself and thankfully everything worked out. It's nice to know that doctors listen sometimes❤❤❤

Just like you I knew that I wanted a c section even years before I could think of becoming pregnant one day and I was pretty much for the same reasons you mentioned. Then I moved to France where they never ever accept a c section. I spoke to my midwife and doctor. My midwife was so nice, she tried to convince me to have a natural birth but at the same time she respected my choice and I tried to convince my doctor, but not just her but the whole hospital never accepted that, and my doctor was so offended when I said to her that I wanted a c section. Finally, I did set numerous appointments with numerous doctors and could finally find a doctor in a public hospital in a smaller town, she has set my cesarean date for the next month and I am finally going to have a c section just based on my choice, now I am just a little bit worried about postpartum and the scars and strech marks. I want to tell people that the negative outcome of a natural birth are a lot more than a c section, you should do your research and you will know it.

I support you! Had natural birth when my cervical not even 10 because midwife want to prevent me from c. Then the scar in there from birth last for almost 6 months and brought me to postpartum depression as well. I’m going ask for elective c section for this time.
