On the topic of risks in VB vs CS, I felt that our antenatal class did cover the risks associated with VB (tears/assisted deliveries) but they talked about them as risks associated accepting pain relief during labour. Whereas assisted deliveries and CSs were discussed only in terms of risks and side effects. Not very helpful really, made me feel pretty stink when I opted for the mother of all medical interventions and had a c-section.
I'm taking a leaf out of your book though Girlsrock, I'm going to stop feeling bad about choosing a section and instead feel proud that I made an informed choice about what I believed was safest for me and my baby even if it wasn't the birth I had hoped for or imagined.
I don't think birth was discussed enough in our antenatal class in terms of risks for both and side effects but also that it isn't just the birth where you can have unrealistic views like, what you are actually entitled to in respect to care etc.
But I guess everyone is different as a lot of people I have spoken to would rather not know. Oh well.
