Most will not, unless there is a medical reason for it...

I had a c-section b/c my fetal pelvic index concluded that my sons shoulders would not be able to be delivered w/ out having to break his collar bone......

I had a medically necessary C-section five years ago and while it wasn't horrible, I do wish i had had a regular birth. I had minor complications, had to stay in the hospital 5 days, took painkillers that I believe prevented breastfeeding, and got very little sleep due to the pills as well. I also have permanent numbness on parts of my stomach, which I was told was normal with a C. I understand why you may not want to deliver in the 'usual' way, but honestly a C section can cause long term effects rather than just dealing with one day of a normal delivery. Just my two cents.

if ther eis no medical reason then probably not, And why would you want to, Trust me, I personally have never had a c section and would never want to, As with vaginal deliver when healing time is maybe a week 2 at the max for the pain, a c section takes weeks, and that is if everything goes alright. I dont konw why women say they would rather have a c section. That is just crazy, No offense this is my opinion, but there was nothing more special to me to have my baby naturally and not have to worry about my guts being put back in. I just got to be covered up and hold my baby.

According to the ACOG c-sections for no medical reason should not be perfomed. That doesn't mean that your OB woln't lie to the insurance companies and even you to get one done. The risks of a c-section is so much higher then that of a vaginal birth and most of the time they do not tell you 100% of the risk involved.

They are as follows:
4-7 times higher maternal death rate,
Infection and probams with scar staying closed,
Depression,
PTSD,
Hemmorage, trasfusions,
Injuries to uterus, bladder and other internal organs,
Increased risk of hysterectomy in current and future pregnancies,
In future pregnancies increased risk of having problams with the placenta and where and how its attached that can cause harm to baby,
Icreased risk of secondary infertility,
Higher miscarrage rates and ectopic pregnancies,
Twice the risk of being re-hospitalized for reasons such as infection, gallbladder didease, sugical wound compications ect.

Risks to the baby:
Increased respiatory distress
Injury/cuts on the baby from the scalple
Pulminary hypertension
Elective c-section increases the chance of baby not being ready to be born and requiring time in the NICU for prematuraty

And these are just some of the risks not all. Please really think about your choice and what you are willing to sacrifice.

You can upright refuse to deliver vaginal if you want to, it probably wont make the dr. very happy but there is nothing they can do about it. However it is not recommended, reguardless what you may think/have heard, c-sections are nothing easy to recover from!! It takes weeks!!! So while the actual birthing process may be easier through c-section, the recovery is much harder and its almost impossible to bounce back!!

Sadly a lot of doctors are making this a trend.

If you're asking about your own pregnancy, dont do it. your baby is more likely to die,and so are you. about 1 in every 2500 women do, or about three times more likely to die than from a regular vaginal delivery.

The risks for your baby are even greater. Theres a reason why its used for emergencies.

C-sections are usually considered a last resort. You will find it hard to find a doctor who will do it without trying nature birth first.

I doubt it. The insurance companies get funny about that!
If something were to happen, and it went to court and the dr couldn't explain why... heads would roll.
It's not so bad, you'll be fine!

If he wants you money, I guess.
But they should only be given with a medical need, not because the mum doesn't want to push.
