Honestly it isn’t bad at all. I didn’t even think about it until the day itself when I was like “tit they are about to cut me open”. It was so calm, and everyone was very informative about what was happening at every stage, they gave me choices to “make it my own birth” in a sense (like if I wanted to see her being pulled out etc. I did not. I like them when they are cleaned up ) so it never felt cold and medical and far removed from a birth. Hands down it was my best birth of the three I’ve had.

And as someone said above, just taking it easy afterwards really helps. I sat on my (still intact ) a for weeks watching box sets while my poor parents and husband did all the school runs etc!

I've seen so many people say how they haven't regretted going for an elective after a bad tear ect.
Which is reassuring!

Mines low too. Long a wait for 36 week scan for me

I'm in the same boat too!
Got my internal scan in February!

I chose an elective with my second given the trauma of my first. I contracted sepsis and was very ill and my baby almost didn’t make it. I very well could have gone for VBAC otherwise, and the consultant did try to talk me around to it initially, but the fear of history repeating itself made me opt for the c-section. One of my community midwives, upon reading my notes, actually told me she didn’t blame me for my choice after all that and was very supportive.
