A member asked:
Can a woman choose to have a caesarean even if she doesn't need to have one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: In england, where i practiced for some time, there is an expression which goes, "too posh to push." it really means that for many celebrities and other women very concerned about the discomfort and effects of a vaginal delivery, they choose an elective caesarean. Please discuss this in great detail with your obstetrician, there are risks associated with any surgical procedure. Good luck.
