Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Route of delivery: In general terms a vaginal delivery is a safer option for most women. There are a variety of reasons that some women prefer to choose a c section. My opinion is we must respect patient autonomy and respect informed consent. Consider scheduling time with your obgyn to have an in depth discussion regarding delivery options.
