>In spite of a recent trend to demonize C-section and prevent women from getting one if they want to, research demonstrates that those women who still manage to get their planned C-sections are a lot happier and less likely to suffer from postpartum depression than women who undergo vaginal birth:
The doctors found that women who planned C-sections were much more satisfied with their experiences than those who planned vaginal births. . . The study polled 160 women planning vaginal delivery and 44 planning C-sections. The women were asked eight weeks afterdelivery about their fulfillment, distress and difficulty. They rated their satisfaction with the childbirth experience on a scale from one to 100 and how they felt right after birth using descriptors such as “disappointed,” “enthusiastic” and “cheated.” Those planning C-sections reported higher satisfaction, higher fulfillment and lower distress and difficulty, and a more favorable overall experience than those planning vaginal birth. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that about one-third of U.S. women giving birth had C-sections in 2008, the latest data available. The number crossed all races and ages.
“How much this figures into an individual’s psyche is nothing we can measure, because we can’t do randomized studies by making some women have C-sections and some vaginal births,” she said. “Instead, we absolutely should have more counseling. Labor is OK, and they’ll survive. Most births go very well; there’s no good evidence now to circumvent Mother Nature.”

I suggest you do some research, c-section risk is significantly higher than vaginal delivery which is a natural process perfected by our amazing bodies for 10s of thousands of years.
“Maternal mortality [in cesarean sections is] two to four times greater than that for a vaginal birth… Even mature babies, the absences of labor increases, the risk of breathing problems and other complications. Cesareans can delay the opportunity for early mother-newborn interaction, breastfeeding and the establishment of family bond” (childbirth.org). Another study found that “rates of severe obstetric complications increased from 1998–99 to 2004–05. For many of these complications, these increases were associated with the increasing rate of cesarean delivery” (Kuklina et al, 2009). Pain in childbirth is related to fear and repression, surrendering to birth is an amazing experience that is empowering to women well past the short experience of birth.

For the gazillionth time, what is being discussed here is elective cesarean, not the emergency cesarean. We take our amazing bodies to the dentist and all other health specialists all the time. Do you put up with a toothache or ask your doctor for an anaesthetic? Without modern science, our amazing bodies used to die before reaching the age of 25.
The voodoo science of bonding has no place on my intellectual blog.
Feel free to surrender to whatever you like, but also respect the choice of others not to.
