Natural or C section?

I'm stuck between going for natural or C-section. Pls share your experience. Reasons why I'm considering C-section: 1. I have unexplainable backache since I was a teenager. 2. It's more predictable and my husband can plan to be around during that period. 2. A lot of my friends ended up having to go for emergency c section after prolonged labour. 3. Edd is extremely close to a loved one's death anniversary. Family expressed concern about baby coming out on same date. #advicepls #1stimemom

Perhaps you can consider induction instead? It still gives you some form of certainty if you are induced on a certain date, though obviously not as certain as c sect. I chose to be induced on my EDD and delivered on my EDD. That gave me time to take a proper shower and settle other miscellaneous stuff before checking into the hospital!
