My gynae said csec is better due to my 150cm height and age 37. Has anyone chosen csect and why?

My gynae said csec is better due to my 150cm height and age 37. I initially wanted csec but worry on the painful recovery. After gynae mentioned, i worry baby is big and i may not have the strength to push and ending up to emergency csec. Last check baby weight is 2.3kg at week 32. FTM here.

Hello! Go with the option that you’re most comfortable and confident in! I opted for elective c sec because I am also on the smaller side and have high amniotic fluid (which comes with some risks) and I didn’t want to take the risk. I also didn’t want to end up with an emergency c sec. Recovery was so much better than I expected, but I would say it depends on the gynae’s skills / personal body recovery. The pain to me was 2/10 with the pain killers, can be kind of sore and uncomfortable but when I discharged from my 4 days stay at hospital i already felt quite confident (with slight discomfort) walking with my binder on.
