The essay in the Cut is everything I thought about when deciding between an unlikely to progress induction (due to other high risk issues, no spontaneous delivery for me) or a planned C. And when my baby hit the massively large 98% measurements and gave me the clincial option to choose a C, after weeks of waffling, I was so at peace that I did. And looking back, I am so glad I did and I would make the same choice over and over again. And I am even more at peace now knowing that every future birth will also be a C (no induction VBACs).
I loved 10 Essential Interview Questions.
Ha! I just wrote a similar piece to the 10 Interview Questions post. Some overlap but some different stuff (link in username).
