C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

I had emergency c section and I hope to to go throght that again it was worst experience ever, my friends who had planned c section were happy with the experience…I am pregnant now and want to do natural birth🙂

I'm not in the group, but I had baby number 2 in June via elective C-section. My first was a vaginal birth. I liked the calmness of my elective, but my natural birth I feel was massively impacted on because it was the first covid lockdown so everyone was a bit panicked and flustered. I do feel if it wasn't in lockdown it could have been a bit of a different experience. I have friends who have had amazing vaginal births, mine just didn't go as planned. Honestly, I think for your first it is always worth trying for a natural birth if possible

I’ve had two planned sections and having my third in July. Quick recoveries and both great experiences. I’ve never wanted a vaginal delivery so have never mourned not having that experience. You have to weight up if that is something you want to experience and will you be disappointed if you don’t experience it. Also how many children do you want as c sections can limit you.

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Growth scan

So had my 28 week midwife appointment- all good but after measuring bump- I’m now waiting on a scan within a few days as bump is measuring small I’m not worried as I am guessing a tape measure is hardly accurate but
For anyone who has been in a similar position- what was the outcome after the scan? Was the baby on the smaller side ?
Was baby measuring normal?

Thanks
