At a lot of hospitals now, C Section for no other reason than maternal request is not an option as it carries a much higher mortality rate than a normal birth.
In other words, planned C Section is not the easy option....

Sorry didn't have a clue about the risks with a C section. I guess the midwives leave out the scary stuff at the anti-natal classes.

I didn't really want to go into too much depth to scare anyone about to go through a natural labour, but the doctors couldn't find a heartbeat and after a 32 hour labour, with my baby lying back to back the doctor had to cut me open down below anyway (sorry, can't remember the medical term). The cord was wrapped round his neck and as I was pushing he was being strangled.

Unfortunately, in my case gall stones causing pancreatitis and liver problems mean't I had severe abdominal pain for 2 months after giving birth and then cut open anyway to have my gall bladder out. This caused muscular pain and so my baby was about 3 months old before I could carry him and it took until he was about 6 months old before I felt no pain carrying him.

I suppose everyone has different experiences. There are obviously risks with a C section, but I still think women who have experienced complications in a natural birth should be given the choice second time round.

First time round was hell so the second time from day one I asked if I could have an elective section. All the way through they said 'no'. At the last appointment they said that the baby was too big (10lb 3oz when he came out) and was breech so I'd have to have a section. I had the good sense to look horrified but inside I was going, 'yeeeeeeesssssssss'.

Recovered far better and quicker from the section than the 'natural' one and didn't have any baby blues afterwards at all.

I can only conclude that your consultant is a man.
The nearest pain on the 'rhicter' scale was appendicitis which required rapid surgery -scale 8, childbirth was 10+
