C section.

Could I possibly choose to have a csection instead of delivering him vaginally? My boyfriends mom said with all her kids they had to use the clamps and the doctors that delivered my boyfriend, did something wrong (I can't remember what he said) and he had to have surgery on his head when he was 2 days old. I don't want this to happen to my baby... Is it possible for me to have my baby the way I want or not?
