Honestly, what your Mil said is correct. If you choose csec, you will have to be really very careful with your wound. Csec wound is bigger than normal delivery wound. My tolerance level of pain is also very low. But I delivered normally without epidural because I want to try the pain. From the contraction till delivery, it's just like menstruation cramp but is painful abit more.
To me, I will advise for normal delivery with epidural if you are really scared. Because csec, you couldn't move around normally and also for quite sometimes you can't carry heavy things. Not to scare you but if you imagine you give birth to a baby of 3++kg, and when it reach 2-3 months the baby weight became 6++kg then you will have difficulties carrying him/her.
At the end of the decision is yours. So if you still choosing csec, talk to your mil nicely (:
Good luck mummy!
