I think it's important to validate your feelings about being cheated. I had nightmares during my pregnancy about having to undergo a c-section. The pain, the risks, the sterile medical table and equipment making it so "unnatural"...but the truth is, when there's no other choice what's the better option? A baby that doesn't make it due to reluctance or one who does, but just came out a different way? I think that when we finally put cesarean sections into persepective, it's a good option to have.
Now, if we are talking about how often some doctors will jump the gun and suggest a c-section...that's a different story.
Fatmah-- thank you for sharing your stories and pointers. I am sure many women will find them useful.
