C-section used to be used as a last resort, but now that it's become optional, many women nowadays choose that over vaginal birth.

Do you think it shouldn't be optional anymore?

C-section has more risks than vaginal birth, and it's also more painful because of the recovery time. But if the mother has complications and NEEDS one, it's worth it.

Although I would prefer a vaginal birth, every single woman on my moms side has had a c-section. My mom had three. So it kind of looks like I'm having one too.

The good thing about it is that you don't have to worry about when it's gonna happen. You're not gonna wake up at 3am feeling like you're gonna die, and then have the baby in the backseat of your husbands van.

Although my sister in law had a planned c-section for june 8th, her baby decided to show up two weeks too early by vaginal.

I think you should only do it if there's a problem with the birth.

There's really no reason for doing a c-section instead of a natural birth (except for fear, I guess and that's not a solid reason in my opinion).

Maybe I don't know enough, but it just seems like a personal choice thing to me, that it doesn't really affect anyone else.

My sister NEEDED a c-section. She was too small, and my niece was too big of a baby. If she didn't have a c-section...who knows what they could have done.

My sister wasn't in that much pain after the c-section, and she was throwing a party the day she came home. The bad thing is, the scarring, which she if very self consious about.

I think i would rather have a c-section. Less pain that way. I know that sounds selfish, but thats just how I feel.

My friend has the most awesome scar on his face, and his twin brother has like a continuation of it.
So like if you smash their heads together it makes one big scar.


Thanks, C-Sections!
-thumbs up-

Seriously though, I think it ought to be an option,
even with the awesome face scars.

C-section is a great idea if you need it, but i keep hearing of all these incredibly vain people who go for C-section because they "don't want to stretch out their pussys"<--quoting my friend there.

Whoa.

Wtf.

I think anyone who has something against C-Section is just trying to be controlling.

We're not actually discussing c-sections in generall, we're talking about women who are capable of having vaginal births, but choose to have planned c-sections because of various reasons.

what`s so wrong with a C-Section? some women
prefer it because of the pain of natural childbirth.
i think C-Section should be an option.

Well, if you're willing to pay for it, you can do whatever you want to your uterus. No skin off my nose.

I'm all for any medical procedure which saves lives, and if you're doing it because you can't deal with pain then i'm all for it too.

All the women on my Mum's side have had to have C-sections, so I can't say I have a problem with it.
Chances are I will end up having one too.

i may sound dumb but is c-section the same as caesarian? like if you can't have normal birth, you get to have your tummy sliced and that's where the baby goes out?

I know. I didn't even think there WAS a movement against c-sections.

Wanting a child doesn't mean that you HAVE to give vaginal birth. If you're pregnant, I'd say that either birth is okay as long as the kid's alive and you're taking care of it just fine. Taking care of it. That's a little more important than how you give birth.

And that's so personal! It's such a personal choice. How does it affect the child? That's usually the argument for abortion, so I'm asking it here since I may not understand fully.

Yes, the C is short for caesarian.

My mum had both me and my brother through C-section.
Now she has two scars across her stomach.

I really have no idea why she chose to have a C-section, since she told me that she was capable of of having vaginal birth.
