@misha100 I am 100% pro c-section based on my own personal experience.
I found out I have a massive fibroid right above my cervix, within the uterine muscle. In fact, I was referred to MFM because of it. As soon as I found that out, I was advocating for a c-section. Emergency sections after laboring are common in my family and I knew from the jump I didn’t want to recover from both an emergency surgery and laboring.
My OB at one point made a crack at an appointment that was something to the effect of, “wouldn’t it be great if your fibroid moved so we could deliver vaginally?” I transferred care to the MFM the next week.
The plan was an elective c because of the fibroid. It wound up being medically necessary as my son was breech the entire time and was born early at 37 weeks due to gestational hypertension.
I am not mincing words when I say that my delivery and subsequent recovery have been a breeze. I did not have any complications and was walking around the neighborhood with the stroller by about 8 days postpartum. In fact, my first pp period started this week (I’m 6 weeks pp). I fully know that is not everyone’s experience but it is mine. If you are set on a c-section then advocate for yourself! They are not always the worst case scenario they can be made out to be.
