Honest truth about C sections

I am a first time mother having an elective c section. I’ve been told that it’s a shame I am doing an elective as thank God my baby is healthy. I need to know is a C section better than a birth? If you have had both please share your experience below !

Two parties on the same day, WWYD?

Our DS was invited to his nursery best friend's birthday party one month in advance, we immediately confirmed. The party is 2 to 4pm.

About a week later we got another party invite from some long time friends. The party is the same day but from 12 to 2pm on the opposite side of the city, so it will take a 40 minute drive to get from one to the other. This child used to be best friend but they haven't been available to meet for the last year, so I was thinking about skipping this party. However, my child keeps asking about them and it is possible for us to attend, just complicated. So thought I would go and leave early (stay for hour and a half instead of 2 hrs) and go to the other party around 10 mins late.

Is it too rude to leave the first party early? We are staying for most of it. Or is it better no just not go?

What would you do?

currently 35+6 days pregnant and having contractions

3 days ago i started having contractions for 1 hour lasting one minute and it last me all day and stopped after 20 hours and i took some sleep after that day it came back but not that intense today it got super intense again and now its 3 to 4 in one hour lasting 30 to 45 seconds
tbh i started doing exercises, nipple simulation and took labour drink like juice and stuff
but yesterday i did one last thing that was s** and everything else
how long will it take me to be in active labour? any guess
