In a post by Silent Beads, the woman said the disagreement has led to arguments in their home, and it does not look like her husband will change his mind.

The woman indicated that she wants to convince her husband to see her point of view.

“My husband wants me to have a CS because, according to him, it's less painful. I want to push. We've argued about it, but it looks like he won't change his mind. It's my first, and I want to know how to convince him to accept the natural way.”

Natural births can be safer than cesarean births, but that doesn’t mean that C-sections are riskier. This form of birthing is a standard procedure and sometimes may be a better and safer delivery method for the parent and baby, depending on the situation.
