Natural birth or csect

I'm 40 yo and this is my first baby. I have always intended to opt for normal vaginal delivery if possible because of cost and i also wanted to experience what it feels Iike giving birth. But lately, my gynae suggested me to opt for csect because of my age. He said csect will be 100% safe for baby but vaginal birth will carry a 2% risk. Appreciate any advice.

I had gd with my first pregnancy i was 36 years old...baby was big so doc say to induce at 37 weeks. Listen to doc advice if they recommend that c-sect is better for you than go for c-sect. I insisted on vaginal delivery i had 2nd degree tear n a painful recovery. Im currently pregnant with my 2nd child, this time round im opting for c-sect. Trust your doctor advice always.
