Delivering

Do you get a choice on if you want to have a c-section or natural birth. How does the determination process happen

My labor was super easy for me and the pushing, ya I would say that was easy compared to women that have to push for hours on end. But every labor is different. The nurse said my body is just built to have babies. I did tear, and I admit the recovery was very painful, but I can also say with a 100% guarantee it was a much easier recovery than that of a c section. My friend just had to have an emergency c section and she can not even stand up without the help of her husband. She can't even care for her son without his help. I just wanted you to know that it is possible for even us tiny ladies to push out a baby. You can do it girl.

Just to let ya know, I was tiny when I delivered my son and I pushed him out in only 5 mins. I am now almost 39 weeks with my daughter and tiny still, doing a natural birth again.

My sister is tiny and has no issues w natural birth. Of course everyone is different, but typically they don't do c sections unless medically necessary.  Recovery from a c section is much longer than that of a vaginal birth. Not only does your body have to recover from pregnancy, but major abdominal surgery on top of that.. I'll take the tears for 500 please. Lol

If your doctor feels you're too small to deliver naturally then they will schedule a c section.

They don't do elective c sections where I'm from. I think that's pretty much almost standard in a lot of places now.

They do not do elective c-sections unless there is a medical reason.

I'm a FTM but my cousin just had a baby and she absolutely begged her doctor for a c-section and they wouldn't let her have one because the doctor said she felt as if the baby was in no kind of risk or anything so she had to have it natural!
