Did anyone choose a c-section?

I choose to have an elective C-section, Spirals. I was already with an Obs and I talked through with him all my thoughts and fears at 38 weeks and we both concluded it was the best decision for me. I tried to keep an open mind throughout my pregnancy of all birthing options, but at the end of the day every woman is different and you can only decide was is best for you. Some women are physical strong, others emotional, others mentally. I knew for me the best option was having a C-section as I have no quarms about a surgical environment and being in the hands of a professional who has done hundreds of C-sections, than rather be petrified going through an experience I have no control over and being traumatised afterwards if it didn't go well. I found the operation relatively painless, I was feeding my baby immediately - and every feed I lifted her out of her cot, the next morning I was in the shower and by that afternoon I was off the morphine. Everyone is different - I have no doubts I made the right decision for me and don't regret it for a moment, I bonded instantly and because mentally I was totally prepared for what was going to happen I felt it helped my recovery no end. All I can advise is find out as much information about all your options and make the decision for yourself - and not on what others think you should do :-) Good luck..
