@alsdpa In regards to the birth, is she wanting a VBAC or a repeat c section? Repeat/scheduled csections are a vastly different experience than emergency. It’s still major surgery but it’s just not the same as laboring and then having an emergency c section. I’ve had two c sections and the recovery on my second was so much easier than my first. That’s pretty common.
It sounds like you have a lot more to consider than just the birth but I wanted to put that out there in case it helps. Your wife likely has already thought about it and heard stories from friends so having a conversation with her about her birth plans and how it affected you last time will help ease those particular concerns.
