Q: C-section or vaginal birth ?

Ok I would like to see what kind of answers I get. Just a vote really

How many had c-section that was elective?
How many had a c-section as a result of Pitocin given during labor?

How many had a vaginal delivery?
How many feel resentment towards a c-section that could have been prevented?

I had a medication free vaginal delivery.

I didn’t go to the hospital until my sons head was nearly crowing (we could see and feel his head). I DID Not want to give the doctors any reason to restrict my movement or try to speed up or slow down my labor with interventions. My natural labor took 72 hours! If I would have went to the hospital I guarantee I would have ended up with Pitocin or worse. So Im just curious….thanks everyone!
