Can you chose to have a c-section?

[sparky]

Despite almost having a new bum-hole created by Isla i'd do it over again rather than a c section. one of my closest friends had one a week after my VD and she's going to take so much longer to heal, plus the fact that she wont be insured to drive for 6 weeks, whereas i'm already out and about in the car and getting some normality back.

An emergency section seems much more truamatic than a fanny one...yes it hurts but the pain is forgotten INSTANTLY as soon as you hold your LO

Im glad your feeling more positive Charlotte!!
Can I ask (coz im a nosey cow hahaha) what hospital are you going to!?! I might have asked you this once in tri1!? hahaa Waaaaayyyy back then!
You can do this, you will do this and also look back anf think "why was I so worried??" (well until you get pregnant again then it all comes flooding back )
Nothing will go wrong and you will have all them health pro's around you making sure that you will be fine!!

Dont think you asked me hun,. but i'm going Stepping Hill in Hazel grove.. what about you?
Thats my most local apart from whythenshawe and i didnt fancy that one for some reason..

Well weird but for some reason I thought you were going to Wythenshawe so I must have asked haha either that or Im psychic but still got it wrong haha

Im going to Salford Royal (Hope) hospital as I thought it would be nice to have my last baby in the hospital I was born in and also it had a better rating in the baby care department than Bolton (which is closer to me) but now Im worried! ?
They have had to close the neonatal dept. twice this year as rare illnesses etc broke out there on the poorly babies! I know its a big unit and babies from all over the country get sent there but that is scary isnt it!? I hope things are ok when I go and touchwood my LO wont need to go to that dept anyways!
