Hi, its your birth, so its your story, your decision. I believe that every woman should be empowered to make her own childbirth decisions. I think this is key so that she doesn't look back and regret.
I would suggest you research and find out more about vaginal births and c-sect to make that decision. Not just the pain factor for each option but the risks and health impact it has on you and your baby.
I'd like to recommend you to check out HypnoBirthing. It is an antenatal childbirth programme which teaches mothers self-hypnosis techniques so that they can achieve a calmer and more relaxed birth whichever birth method they choose (vaginal or c-sect). The course also equip the birth companions (your husband) with knowledge and techniques on how they can support the birthing mother.
If you are interested, you can PM me or check out my fb page, www.facebook.com/AyanaBirths , I am a certified HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator. :)
