I'm abt your height too 1.52m and both my babies were on the bigger side (3.6kg and 3.8kg at birth). I didn't wanna take the risk of having my baby's shoulder stuck or using vacuum etc and at 39 wks I was not even dilated so I decided to go for elective csect for both pregnancies. Both csects were smooth sailing. For my first I was even walking alot aft discharge, gg in and out of hospital as baby was in NICU for jaundice and I wanted to breastfeed him as much as I can. Just pop painkillers and you'll be fine. The first 24 hours u'll be bed ridden and needs to use the cathether. The first time to stand and walk was painful but u'll overcome it in no time cz u'll just can't stand staying in bed all day long! Make sure u use gel cream religiously aft gynae gives the go ahead to remove your plaster. Mine was 2 weeks aft tt and my wound was dry. I also put on silicone sheet for about a month after that and my scar is almost invisible, no keloid formed. So far I've no pain at all from the csect wound at 3 months postpartum.
