But if she can- if it's as simple as getting to docs and nurses on board with being an exception to the rule, or as complex as going for a VBAC- why not suggest it?
I agree the suggestions are valid. However this thread started to sound like a wrong vs right way dispute. There just is no one right way. There is support and then there is leaving someone thinking you weren't the right person to ask because you weren't listening and are trying to force your values on me. And you said it again right there. The ideal start. That's the ideal start for you. If my daughter came down the birth canal we would both be dead. Ideal for us was c-section. And it was ideal for her to go to the NICU to have her lungs filled with air. And it was ideal for me to come out of the anesthesia.
