Don’t be afraid it’s not that bad I had 2 of them and will have my 3rd this time around. I had an emergency one with my 1st cause my pelvic structure is too narrow and my son couldn’t come down after trying for 2 hrs of pushing he was only 5 pounds . My last was planned of course and this one will be planned too since I can’t push . Do what you feel is best for your body and baby everything will be fine !!
