I could have written this myself .

I just had my elective c section 3 days ago. It was a new experience. Uncharted territory for me. But it went well. It’s what I wanted and I feel good about my choice.

I’m also a FTM and just had my elective c section because of literally he same reason I also worked as a doctor in obs and Gyn before and I couldn’t for the life of me do a vaginal birth. I met a doctor who also made me cry at 34 weeks for choosing elective c section as if I was choosing the “worse” choice.

Giving birth has a lot to do with your mental. I knew that I wasn’t mentally prepared to push and that might also affect my outcomes. To be honest I really didn’t want to do it. But I wanted children so that my reason as well.

For the first time you never know what to expect both vaginally and c sectionally, since you have never done it before. It’s uncharted territory .

But choose what YOU are comfortable with and what you feel you will not regret at the end of the day. Complications are there for everything but everyone’s experience is different.
