C-section vs natural

Beth • Newlywed with 7 and 2 year old girls .. trying for #3
Hey mommies! I am 27 weeks pregnant with my second daughter. I had to have an emergency c section with my first at 34 weeks due to severe complications (intrauterine growth restriction and preeclampsia). I have had a very healthy pregnancy thus far with this one and my dr does not expect me to have any of the previous complications I had. Hoping this is true, I am having second thoughts about my scheduled c-section. My dr asked me what I wanted to do, and did recommend a c-section only because I had one prior. My first born is 5 1/2. I wanted to get some input from mothers on experiences they had in this situation. I'm not sure what is best for me and baby. I'm going to talk to my dr on Thursday at my 28 week checkup about it. Thanks in advance!
