This depends entirely on why you’re getting c-section in the first place. When my son was born, we luckily detected that the umbilical cord had velamentous cord insertion, which basically means it’s not completely connected to the placenta. This can often lead to detached cord during vaginal birth, and cause still-birth and worst case also kill the mother. We also discovered after the fact that the pregnancy was also suffering vasa previa. Luckily the first was discovered before birth with modern ultrasound equipment that also tracks blood flow (not all hospitals have this apparently). And we were extremely luckily that we didn’t risk vaginal birth even though with just the first condition the risk was still within decent margins. You can read some horror stories about these conditions when they go undetected. Luckily for us they were detected, and so we scheduled a c-section and everything was smooth. If we had listened to the peer pressure, which there was a lot, it’s possible that neither would be around today.
