I’m elective c sectioning, due to medical issues with myself and some complications. Personally, I feel like I just don’t want a situation where I can’t birth naturally and then it’s all emergency hysteria.

This is my first babe so no experience prior to it but a lot of my friends went natural without issue x

I’m thinking of doing a selective c section too because I would find it less stressful

I had an elective c section first due to medical reasons but opting for a natural birth this time as that had always been what I wanted. It is totally personal choice and if you feel a c section is your best option do what feels best.

Baby’s head size

Hi everyone, I’m a first time mum and at my 32 week growth scan, the head was measuring about 35 weeks. The overall estimated fetal weight is on the 70th percentile and abdomen on 50th percentile. I can’t stop worrying about the big head size and thinking I won’t be able to give birth if it’s that big. Has anyone had any experience of this? Could it even out at my next growth scan?
