Choosing a C-Section??

Question

So I’ve been TTC and haven’t confirmed anything so this is just me looking for info while I watch Birth vlogs , research and YouTube baby fever related items 😂😂
 
Can I choose to have a C-section even if I have a healthy pregnancy? 
As selfish as it sounds I don’t want to ruin my vagina ( yes I know it’s a muscle and goes back but it’s a personal choice ) 
I’m not really finding a straight forward answer on the inter web ??🧐

Answer

I must be the odd one but I had a c-section due to breech baby and both my vagina and stomach are perfect. I was up and walking out of hospital in 24h

Answer

I had an emergency section and I've rather a 'ruined" vagina than torn stomach muscles , numbness, scarring and infections I have 11 years on!!

Answer

It depends on the doctor, I will say. C section recovery is very painful

Answer

Most doctors won't let you have a csection without a medicaid reason.
Vaginal births do not wreck your vagina

Answer

I will say that I always wanted a c section, but I’m in nursing school now and when I did my rotation on the post partum floor the difference between the c section patients and the vaginal delivery patients was astounding. The c section patients had difficulty getting out of bed, had to have somebody hand them baby, and needed help walking to the bathroom. The vaginal delivery patients were up and walking around the room and tending to baby on their own and just overall seemed much happier. Just something to think about. I would much rather have a vaginal delivery now

Answer

C-Section is not the easy route like a lot of women think. They are separating the muscles in your stomach that you use for basic movements. I worked out all my life and had to stop for over a year after I had my daughter because of my C-Section. It would pull and was painful even after all that time. Even now almost 2 years later my scar will itch and hurt and I had a great surgeon and great scar with no issues.
