A member asked:

If i have c-section scheduled for 39 weeks (by choice, not medical) and go into labour earlier, will i still get c-section? have tokophobia.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: Unless there are compelling reasons (medical) for you not to have it done, i believe you will still get c-section by choice.
