Delivery by c-section

LAURIE
My doctor wants to give me a csection at 37 weeks. I really want to labor. Has anyone else run into this? I know I'm 45 but I feel like I can handle labor. I have had a complicated pregnancy gd and on insulin, icp, subchirionoc bleeding in first trimester. I want to trial labor but I don't want to push my luck. Baby has clubfeet feet and a long recovery from surgery isn't what I want if it can be avoided.
