Actually, having a c-section would be worse for "career" focused mothers. Sure, you get to schedule your due date, but you are having a surgery. It takes longer to recover from a c-section then a natural birth. There is driving and lifting restrictions for weeks. FMLA leave is usually extended for those with c-sections by a few weeks. And as for scheduling, you can define a maximum date, but the baby can still come early. Just because I'm schedule to have a c-section on September 1st, doesn't mean I can't go into labor in August 15th.
