Leslie, I was born via c-section and believe me it was many moons ago and long before the medical advances of today. I am none the worse for wear and neither was my mom. I know you are concerned. Having your first child can be a fearful thing for sure. The important thing is not so much how we arrive on this planet but rather that we are healthy when we do. Try and think past the birth to all of the joy that awaits you in the years ahead.
